Polycharge4 charger

[AV8TOR]

Anyone here using the Great Planes Polycharge4 charger? I ordered one as I have been tired of charging back to back to back charges. I know it is a little conservative on the charge voltage but that plus side of that is it will be easier on the batteries.

Anything you would do different with it?

It has been performing flawlessly. I am extremely pleased with it and I love the free time it provides me.

Good article here if you want to learn more.

I've been using mine for several months without any problems. I have 3 prolites 2000 and 2 Etec 1200s.

I was looking at that one as I have 4 lipos to charge at once. I tucked my money back in my pocket and just charge them 2 at a time in parallel on my current charger. Works great and saves a heap of time.

I got one. Like it a lot! I still have another charger for trouble shooting, discharging, shows mah's charged/discharged, etc. Or for charging 5 at a time.

I almost lost mine in the mail with no insurance. They put it in some other guy’s box. He opened the package and my phone number was on the shipper and he called. I went right over and picked it up.

I had one and returned it a day later. It only took my 3S packs to 12.18 and doesnt give you that last little bit. I know it is only a few seconds more of flight time but WOW the first 20 seconds are POWERFUL when packs are to a full 12.6.

Interesting find there Finless, you must have had a bum one or something or they may have changed them. I have one and my packs fresh off the charger read 12.6 (I use an MPAII plugged inline with the pack to read MAH). I have 2 packs that have been sitting fully charged for about 2 weeks and are reading 12.5. I have heard people say the same thing as you about the peak voltage, but I have also heard people like myself who have one working perfectly. Makes me wonder if a manufacturing change was made to get the voltage up.

[Finless]

Trace, that could very well be the case and makes sense as I also know some people that swear by that charger.

Mine leaves them a little safe also.. Basically robs me of 15-20 secs of flight time.. But I am liking the convenience.. My trailer is usually charging up to 5 or 6 packs for various things at any given time when we get busy so it really helps. I run the Medusa with 15t mot missing much punch :D overall very satisfied with the charger and if I want to let someone show off with it I top a batt or two off with the Triton making sure its topped off all the way around
