Thunder AC6 charger questions

[kiwi1080]

I didn't think those times were anything crazy . On my 2100MAh 20C Align battery I set the timer to 10:30mins and when it is done the individual cells read about 3.78-3.80v when I start charging it. It takes about 50mins to balance charge from that point back to 4.2V per cell. Putting back in about a charge value of 1450 on the bottom right read-out.
On the 2200MAh 20C cheaper "blue" battery I got, the first time I used it was 13mins but I cut this down to 11:30 just to ensure tha battery doesn't drain too much. This reads similar when I put it back on the charger and takes about 55mins to balance charge, charge value about 1500-1600.
According to the manual about the batteries, these numbers are ok, are they different to what you other guys are getting (Kent and Ranben)?? Hope I'm not damaging the batteries!!

Just curious, what motor/esc are you are using Kiwi?

I'm using the Align stuff that came with the kit. Its a 430X brushless outrunner and an Align 35A ESC/BEC combo. They seem to be very efficient by the sounds of things as I am getting great flight times!!
Just got back inside from doing another 10:30min flight on my 2100MAh 20C Align battery and it was still responding nice a sharp to the throttle at the end of it so must not be draining the battery That was doing a little hovering and some FF and stall turns too, nothing fast and crazy or too slow either.

Anyone have any trouble with their T6/AC6 thunder charger not fully charging to 12.6 V ?

I had the T6 and it would stop charging at 11.78 volts. 3.94 volts/cell.

There is no way to adjust the max volts cutoff numbers.

I sent it back and have the AC6 thunder charging coming in exchange. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem.

No, must have been a faulty one you had as mine goes to 12.6v every time without fail. The AC6 is better than the T6 in the fact that you get the built in AC adaptor anyway so no real loss for you there!

I couldn't believe how much quicker the AC6 charges then the little basic charger that comes with an RTF heli, it's amazing. I went from only being able to do one flight in the morning and one in the evening to doing one an hour pretty much now if I want. Just charge one battery while I fly with the other, then switch over, loving it!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Hey Elk,

My AC6 is working fine.

I hope they got one in the mail to you because they are showing the AC6 "Out Of Stock" as of this morning. I received one yesterday, so I dont know when they actually ran out.
