The e-Station BC-6 has a built in AC power supply, a big plus. The 610C has a bit more power and a higher capable charge rate.

The e-Station BC-6 also supports almost all available lipo batteries, where the TP doesn't support them all. You will need to create your cables for some batteries.

The e-Station BC-6 does have other features including Storage, Fast charge programming, I do not know if the 610C has some of these features.

Both are excellent power supply.

The BC 6 has a built-in power supply but it weight close to 900gm compared to 205gm of TP610.

The TP610 is 10A 80W compared to 5A 50W of BC6 which has a substantial advantage as A123 cells are capable of charging at 10A. Also for 6S pack, the maximum charge rate for TP610 is about 3.5A compared to 2.2A for BC6.

The TP601 need a more expensive power supply (12V 10A) compared to the normal 12V 5A built-in by BC6 .

You can get TP610 for $129 at rc-toy compared to BC6's $169 at rc-accessories, but you also need a power supply for TP 610, of course, you can use the external good power supply for other equipment.

It should be good but make sure you get the right polarity.
