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 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.
