Hi all, I'm looking at various different chargers that can be obtained in the UK.
It seems there are quite a few rebranded ones for europe.
Then it seems that a lot of the different rebranded ones are actually the same as eachother but with different names and mixed reviews, often contradicting.
This makes it very difficult to decide.
For example, my first choice would be the
HITEC X2 AC Pro 2 Port AC/DC Multi-Charger
(See here: X2 AC Pro 2 Port AC/DC Multi-Charger | HITEC RCD USA)
which it seems is rebranded for europe or UK as "SkyRC D200" according to the following post...
(See here: Hitec X2 AC Pro 2 Port AC/DC Multi-Charger - Page 2 - RC Groups)
It does appear to have the same specs, just difference in appearance.
(See here: (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-SKYRC-Battery-Discharger-Soldering/dp/B014KJBF96)
However, upon reading reviews it appears that peeps are saying that SkyRC are crap chargers and tend to be inaccurate and last about 3 months?!
(See here: SKYRC chargers: CRAP - RC Groups)
Second choice would be the Venom Pro Duo dual 7.0A balance charger
(See here: Venom Pro Duo 80W X2 Dual AC/DC 7A LiPo/LiHV & NiMH RC Battery Balance Charger)
although less power it does seem to have good reviews but again, not available in the UK and I'm not inclined to buy off international ebay sellers really.
Then theres the HTRC chargers which may or may not be any good?
Finally I'm looking at Ultra Power - UP120AC Duo Dual 2 Port 240W
(See here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UP120AC-12..._rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=F0J82J1XN7ENJ640XQF4)
but this looks exactly like the SkyRC Ultimate D250
So it seems a lot of these are infact just rebrands of the same chargers, but with mixed reviews.
Anyone any suggestions or experience with SkyRC/Ultra Power/HTRC etc.?
Thanks all.
