I'm thinking of bying the Cellpro 4s Charger and a couple of Cellpro 3s 2150Mah batteries ( http://www.fmadirect.com/detail.htm?item=2150&section=45 ), Any one can give me some info on the quality of these batteries, are they worth the price or should i go with thunderpower batteries?

I'm going to use them on a T-rex 450SE

Thanks,

John

I assume you mean this charger

This baby rocks! I have been running one for a couple of months now and it has quickly become my favorite charger.
It charges in less time because it can do each cell at a higher rate and it balances your pack at the same time.
All you do is plug in the pack and walk away. If you want, it will give you the read out of each cell and you can adjust the current but I just leave it in auto mode.
You can also get an adapter to fit other packs and pigtails to wire your backs if need be.

I have been running the Cellpro 3s 2150Mah batteries and so far they do the best job of keeping our Hacker motor happy. No complaints here!

Yes that's the charger, I think it seems like a great charger to especially for the price. I'll putt in my order tomorrow i think:)

I was impressed by the spec too, had a good long chat with the proprieter of a UK distribution outlet for this charger and Kokam batts. I've now ordered mine too......

I just got the 6S Pro and it ROCKS!!!!

You will need to get the adapter:
http://www.fmadirect.com/Detail.htm?item=2126&section=38

Now the web page is INCORRECT for this adapter as it says 2S to 6S. There are ONLY headers for up to 5S as I found when I got it. BUT there is a header solder point (circut board VIAs) that supports 6S so you can easily solder a 6S connector to the board.

This does TP, APEX, Hyperion and I will be making a vid on how to make an adapter for 6S from a simple 14 pin ribbon cable conector (header).

I just posted a video about this charger and how to add 6S port to the FMA adapter.
