This review is from: E-Flite Celectra 4-Port 1-Cell 3.7V 0.3A DC Li-Po Battery Charger (Toy)
It's great to always have a charged battery ready. I think the price for the 4 port charger at $40, plus the AC adapter for another $15, gets a little unreasonable. When you can get the 4 port charger, Ac adapter, and 6 batteries with the Blade MSR BNF for $129, if you look. If you do the math, thats like getting the MSR for $50! And you probably wanted one anyway! So now you would have 7 or more batteries, and at least 2 micro heli's, and with this charger you could always be flying!

Double Check Power Supply - Does not like 12 volts,

When using multiple E-flite devices, it is very important to always check which power supply you are using. If your wife moves your Blade SR charger's power supply and places it with your 4-Port charger because she's "tired of this crap on her counter", don't assume that just because it says E-flite that it's the right one. The voltage for the 4-port is 6 volts while the Blade SR is 12 volts. Imagine my surprise while I was in the bathroom when I heard a frantic knock on the door and the exclamation that one of the batteries just exploded and shot flames up. Two batteries destroyed and the charger no longer works. So, while this is a great charger, I highly recommend checking the labels before each use.

Do Not Trust!,

This is a great charger and works well. My buddies and I all now have one. We started with the Battle copters which originally charge the LiPo's through the transmitter. What a slow road to China that was! But, you have to be very careful when using this charger. It does not stop charging! It indicates when you are nearly charged by blinking an LED light for that corresponding port; which is good. The more fully charged that your battery is, the less it blinks. So the time between blinks gets longer and longer. Well, if you walk off and forget about it, you may have just overcharged a battery which ruins them. You may have a battery that you have left on the charger for a long time, but when you use it, the life is significantly shorter. In essence a 10 minute battery may now only last for 2. This charger works well, but cannot be trusted.
