This review is from: TP610C-ACDC 1-6 Cell LiPo AC/DC Charger w/Balancer (Toy)
After using this charger for two months I can say that this is one of the better chargers I have used. It has it's own AC Power Supply making it quick and easy to just plug into the wall. The battery recovery feature has saved me quite a few times as I run my truck and it's 2 Lipos until it just won't move anymore. Set up is extremely easy. Once it's set up it defaults to that battery pack type every time. Charging a Lipo 7.4 5000 mAh battery from fully dead takes about 1 hour. Charger beeps to notify that charging is complete. It has a reminder that stops after a certain amount of time as well. Batteries will not overcharge. This may cost a little more than some other chargers, but the versatility is amazing. You can also set cycles for NiCd Recovery. Overall an excellent charger for experienced and inexperienced hobbyists.

Works well. My only note is, the buttons are pretty stiff, that is, they require more pressure to push than I would expect. This isn't bad, but at first I thought it was broken because I thought I was pushing the buttons and nothing was happening. I was getting ready to return it, when a friend tried it and you just have to press fairly hard. But now that I'm familiar with this, it's no problem. I especially like the AC/DC option, much better way to go. Good product, I'd recommend it.

Draganfly is located in Canada and does not accept returns or exchanges, they will give you a number to call to exchange your brand new product. This is my 2nd Thunder charger, a good product, as long as it is shipped correctly, Draganfly shipped it in a retail box slipped inside a thin poly mailer from Canada. The box arrived crushed and the charger is DOA. I now have to ship the charger to the manufacturer at MY EXPENSE and wait on a decision, Read the fine print! Draganfly = no exchange, no returns. HORRIBLE!!!
Now the charger I have that works is great! No problems and is fast, charges up to 6s Lipo and has other features for discharging and storage.
Good Luck and buy items fulfilled by Amazon NOT shipped from Canada.
