Venom Power - Pro Quad LiPo Battery Fast Charger with LCD Screen - 4 Ports at 100W Each - AC DC 7A Fast NiMH LiHV LiPo Balance Charger Discharger 1S to 6S, Drone, RC Car Battery Charger

I've had this charger for over 5 years. It's perfect for charging mass amounts of batteries in a quick fashion. I Highly recommend getting one.

Does what it says on the box, and has just a few minor things that keep it from being perfect. First, the good parts: 4x100W is terrific, and double the power of the Hitec X4 AC Pro. Having the banana plug sockets lined up in front is also really tidy and convenient. Sensibly, it includes four balance boards, and tons of charging lead options with deans plugs in the middle so they can be swapped in and out.What makes it 4.5 stars, though, are a few minor details: No power switch (the aforementioned Hitec has one). The single display for all four ports is pretty cheap: the Hitec has a much nicer color LCD that shows data and a percentage meter for all four batteries at once (this doesn't have a percentage meter anywhere). And the Storage function is excruciatingly slow. It takes hours to put a fully charged 7600mAh 4S into storage because it discharges at only 0.6A. (The Hitec is the same - I'm not sure why...) Otherwise this is a terrific charger.If you need the 400W, this is better than the Hitec. If you can live with 200W, the 4-port Hitec has a much nicer user interface. Perhaps the next iteration of this charger will include a power switch, a better display, and more discharge capability.

Its a real shame to see this company go out of business. These Chargers worked amazing and could literally charge anything. I even used it to charge my car battery once, and it worked surprisingly well, I dare say that it may have even repaired it. I know that it repaired several dewalt and miluakee power tool batteries that were otherwised pronounced dead by the chargers meant for them, I rigged up little spade adapters that fit into the batteries and put them to charge on this, and it recovered them from the dead on countless occasions saving me a buttload of money.

Easy to use and multi functional

When I pulled this thing out of the box my initial impression was that it felt cheap. The plastic shell was misaligned. The balance boards and leads are the lowest quality. The charge leads are OK. I set it up and started charging on all 4 channels. It was working. But this will not put out 100w per channel. Best I could get was 4.6A on balance charge. When set to storage it left all my batteries with unbalanced cells.Then when I got home from running my planes and cars I went to use the charger and the #1 channel detected a connection break. Same as the other reviewers have mentioned. I tried a combination of known good batteries, leads, balance harness, and balance board. Channel 1 is dead on the 1st day if use. The charger is going back. This charger wasnt cheap. I am going to look for the highest quality charger I can find with a separate power supply.I did like the setup menu, layout. And look of this charger. But it's cheap junk. Do not buy.

Have 2 of these they are awesome...

I love the charger we use this to charge our LiFe 4s aircraft batteries and so far I love this charger. A little wierd getting used to the controls but once you understand what's going on its fairly easy to use. It charged 4 separate batteries brilliantly, I like being able to watch the individual cells of all the batteries.My only gripe about this charger is the lack of alligator to banana clips for charging 4 LiFe 4s batteries at the same time, the ones in the photo I got off Amazon for like $12 for 10 so I don't understand why they couldn't have added 4 pairs in there and charge me more. It would have been far more convenient. They sell them but for the price of one set I was able to get 5 sets.That is the reason I knocked off a star, other than that the charger is great and actually dealing with their customer customer service before the purchase was pleasurable. The guy I spoke with was helpful, nice, genuine and eager to provide me the info I asked for.Great quality charger, looks good, does what it's supposed to do very well. Compact for a 4 x 100W charger.

I upgraded from the Prophet Sports Plus to this. Huge difference. The charging time wasn't as fast as i expected though to be honest from what so many were telling me. I have 5 Dynamite 11.1v 5000mah batteries and using the Prophet Sport Plus it took 1 hour and 15 mins to charge fully. This Venom takes 50 to 55 mins and that is with this set to 7 amps, 11.1v Lipo charge. Almost everyone said it would charge them from 25-30 mins. Not even close. It does however charge the batteries WAY more efficient. The cells were balanced better and run times are longer with my X-MAXX. Could be a fluke but after a 25 min bashing with my truck the ESC, motor and batteries were cooler also. The motor was about 120 degrees vs 142 (what it use to get) I love that I can charge 4 batteries at once, fast charge, balance charge, discharge and storage mode. If or when I decide to do the 8S upgrade to the X-MAXX this charger can do the more powerful batteries as well. I like this thing, just wish it did charge my batteries as fast as so many promised and told me it would.
