Duo Chargers!

[ralphee]

Guys!

I need a dual Lipo charger, but one that wont break the bank!
Sooo Orion Duo, or SkyRC D100, specs on the D100 seem better, just wondered if anybody has any feedback on either?

I got the cheep Orion one which seems to work well. But I'm never sure if it is balancing as you don't have the option to select balance. I think It does it automatically if the balance plug is plugged in.
Good value.

I have the Orion One Duo, seems good but no strorage charge or discharge function

I have the d100 it's a great charger can bring up charts to see how ur batteries do when charging, has a battery monitor , resistance checker to check ur batteries, and also says when charging how full the battery is in % plus it's quick on balance have changeable end voltage and comes with two balance boards and two leads to put ur battery connectors on

Has it got inbuilt mains or do you require a seperate mains power pack ?

Hi Stu, the clue is in the title £79.99 on ebay from UK supplier cr-hobby or £82.44 from Modelsport UK

I've been looking at both of these chargers. I think the D100 looks a better bet.

Iv just posted on the for sale forum a brand new orion one, bit saving from new and its never been out of the box.

No worries, I only ask as my charger at present is ac/dc but requires a seperate mains power pack for ac.

U can get apps with the wifi unit to run them on ur iPads/iPhones which also give u the graphs that u can get if u plug into a pc by usb cable

And yes it's both 12v/ 240v and come with both ac and dc leads

I have the SkyRC D100 which I am really pleased with. It comes with built-in power supply which give you a total output of 100w shared across the two outputs, this can be increased to 200w if an external DC power supply is used. The charger is fully functioned and works really well, I am actually thinking of getting the larger D200 model as it produces 200w from the inbuilt power supply and includes a 60w soldering iron. Great products, recommended.

Get two singles and then when one goes to sh1t you still have a charger while you wait for repairs.......

I've one, I've stopped using it. The inbuilt power supply isn't man enough. When you balance charge it cuts off well before 8.4v on both channels. I haven't tried an external power supply attached or none balance charge. but it completely renders the AC function useless.

I've reverted back to the trusty Bantam BC6 and HPI charger. Full charge guaranteed everytime.
