Its about $68 at current exchange rates, but 20% of that is purchase tax... And electronics in the UK are stupidly expensive anyway  The Pound is strong against the Dollar right now too, so the Dollar price is higher than normal. I could have got a functional charger for £20, but the reviews were no where near as good as this one. This should fulfil my charging needs for a long time, hopefully. |

Always best to go with what others have shown to work great that's for sure. Hope it does well. |

The biggest gain with the new charger is that it has the automatic storage mode. The old one didn't have this feature.
Li-po fires are rare, but buying new batteries damaged by incorrect use is expensive. So I see a good charger and battery care as very important.

I'm really loving this charger.
Not only does it charge fast, and it does. Up to 7a fast, although I'm sticking to no more than 2c even though Overlander claim my batteries can do 5c. (I'm sticking to 1c for the rubbish HZ batteries I have).. It even has a fast charge option that will balance too..
I also love the ability to check voltages and use storage charge after use. I know how much capacity is left and how much more I can fly each battery next time. And of course if the batteries are losing capacity.
All of this is probably old news to you guys, but its a revelation to me.
