Hey Graham. Thanks for sharing. I'm big time into rechargeable batteries. With all my remote controls like, X-Box, 5 TV's for watching, 3 sets of security systems and viewing display, stereo and so that i have, it's the only way to go. I don't like charging 2 batteries at a time but I'm curious how much was it?

I had this charger and was disappointed https://www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc- ... 13/p260579 . It only lasted a little under a year. I thought it would of lasted longer then that but oh well. So I have to purchases another one at the first of the month and this one caught my eye https://www.getfpv.com/batteries/batter ... arger.html The reviews are good but it was also good on the other charger. Any input appreciated.

That charger needs a PSU doesn't it? I'm just looking for something not to fancy and you can plug into the wall. My biggest battery is a 6s/2650mah for the 500 which is the biggest heli I will own. I been looking around and I think I found something that will work fine for me https://www.horizonhobby.com/vnr0685

[Graham Lawrie]

Yes DOG, part of the challenge for me and fun was building the PSU, it was all the rage at the time:)
That looks a good charger from Horizon:)

[DOG]

Well I did ordered that Venom duo charger but not from horizon or a main. I happen to find it cheaper at this place out of New York https://www.vertigodrones.com/Venom-Pro ... p_280.html save me a couple of $$$$

I'm loving the up right design of the charger compare to my back up lay down charger I was using

Some of the connection that came with the kit I have no use for them so i decided to make some minor adjustments and made the connectors that i didn't need and replace them with connectors that I use like the ec3 instead of the ec5 and the XT60 instead of the deans plug

I haven't had the chance to charge any battery yet but it has to be better then 1 hour for my small batteries and 2 hrs for my biggere batteries each

[Graham Lawrie]

That looks an awesome set up DOG:) Be good to see a video of it in action:)

[DOG]

Hey there. Well first thing the charger went bad already! The right side charger fan went bad. It sounds like it starving for air. I called them to report the problem early in the morning when they were open. They told me to make a video and send it in, fine, I did. I call right after that to make sure they got the video. They got the video and get back to me real soon. I haven't heard from them all day so I called again before they close. I got someone else because the person i talked to left for the day...HUH. So I told the other gentlemen my problem. He tells me to call Venom because they sold you a faulty product. I'm like wait a minute, I bought the product from you, why do I have to call Venom? He said that once I send the charger to them, they will send it to Venom, then Venom send it back to them and then they will send it back to me. SAY WHAT! Yeah so your better off sending it to Venom. I said, Listen... I didn't deal with Venom in the first place, I dealt with Vertigo Drones. As a first time customer and the LAST time too, I need you to resolve the problem. So he said he will send me a shipping label and they will send me another charger. I'm like, why didn't you just do that in the first place instead of trying to give me the run around. Silence for a minute. So after giving my email address we hang up. DO NOT deal with Vertigo Drones unless you want a run around and talk to idiots plus waste your day holding your breath to here from them. Never again!

[Graham Lawrie]

Not Good DOG sorry to hear that:(

[DOG]

Well I have good news on this charger. I had a wonderful representative from Vertigo Drones help me out. She explain to me that I was talking to staff member that works on their products and had no idea how to handle a return. I don't know what their excuse was. If there camel hump is deflated or the dog ate their homework, I just know I wasn't happy. She had no problem sending me a return label and as soon as they got the old charger back that they will send another right out. Bi-golly she did so I should have it by the weekend

[Graham Lawrie]

Nice one DOG:)

[DOG]

OK, finally my new charger came in for the second time I haven't charged enough batteries to see if I have any problems this time . I've heard this is a good charger and it was wonderful while it last that short period of time I had the first one. I feel good about this one...this time Here's a short video on how easy this charger is to set up. I'm not good at explaining detail but it's quick and simple https://youtu.be/bmnhUCT2MiE

Excellent video DOG:)
