You just have to have a dig
Not over priced, you pay for what you get in this world, pay peanuts you get !!!!
I have been using gfx35 for years and it has never failed, coughed or spluttered nothing, it just does what is stated on the box.
Now I only buy quality equipment and having read up on the bc6 I thought that this charger would be great as I would now need a lipo charger. Having never used the charger before or charged lipos before, I charged my mimh's on the charger to get used to the menus ect. Just over half charge at 5amps the charger starts beeping and switching it self off and on repeatedly. Not a good start !!! have I set-up the unit wrong, so checked settings nothing wrong so tried again. Same thing happened !!! this did not fill me with much confidence when I needed to charge my lipos !!!! the charger has always been powered with the mains input and nothing connected to the 12v input. Now the charger works fine when I only half charge cells/lipo ie finish race and charge. But when I need to fully charge a pack of cells/lipo the charger still over heats and off & on repeatedly. SO I put a 12v fan on the 12v input knowing its 12v live when its mains powered to blow cool air across the charger and voila the charger will now fully charge a pack of cells/lipo.
So mark when I say the charger is cheap crap, the proof is in the pudding my friend....
it does not do what is stated on the BOX !!!!!
I even think that on a hot day with charger in a tent that it would not even half charge or peak a pack of cells/lipo without overheating
