Two new Reaktor chargers at HobbyKing
It's well known that the Reaktor 300W, 20A charger is an OEM iCharger 206B and represents a fantastic value.
Looks like HobbyKing is at it again with an iCharger-produced OEM version of the 3010B and perhaps a 'dual 206B'. They released two new chargers this week and the specifications and features (no manuals yet to confirm) indicate that they've contracted with iCharger again to produce some high quality chargers with fantastic value. Feature set (Internal resistance measurement, hot wire function, motor drive, regenerative discharge, flash memory storage) are telltale iCharger features so I'm betting they've contracted with iCharger again. Here they are: Reaktor 30A, 1000W, 10S (3010B rebadge): https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...e_Charger.html ![]() Reaktor 2 x 300W, 20A, 6S (looks like two 206B's in same case): https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...e_charger.html ![]() Really wish I needed a new charger and I'd be ordering one of these to try out! The 2 x 300W, 20A (dual 206B) looks especially interesting. Please chime in if you've ordered either of these! Mark |

Hello Mark ! I have started to find a good charger for my needs one month ago , but today I decided to buy one of the above mentioned because of your explicit layout ! I need one charger for charging at once four (in the future maybe will be six ) Lipos 2700 mAh 3C at 1C ( maybe more if were be good for Lipos ,,health,, ) with a parallel charging board . I know the rules of parallel charging , even if I am a newbie...( I have learned a lot from the forums ) . I did not decided which of the three models . Maybe 300 w or 2X300 . For my curiosity , how would be the charging done for the 4 or six packs at once , with the dual one ? The dual one is powerful , but for my needs would be power out of use , wouldn't it ? What PSU would be matched for each , from same vendor (Hobby King ) ? Thank you in advance , Mac

That said, you cannot go wrong with the single port 300 watt Reaktor coupled with this power supply: https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ers_350W_.html With the 300 watt setup, you could charge all six of your 2700mAh 3S packs in parallel at ~1.2C rate. The 2 X 300 watt charger will allow you to charge six such packs in parallel at ~2.4C rate. Mark |

Yea Mark,these Reaktor options are going to be hard to beat at the price point, I must admit while I have only had the Reaktor for a few months it shows no signs of being unreliable the thing works great.Had I not bought the single unit I would buy the duo,but I can't justify it right now.

Can these handle HV up to 4.35V?

The standard iCharger firmware (which I speculate these new units use and know the other 20A Reaktor uses) allows you to adjust the voltage up to 4.3V so you would get pretty close to maximum voltage. Up to you whether those last few mv are worth the large reduction in currently available chargers.
Perhaps there will be a firmware update released to allow higher cell voltages one day. |

Thanks for the reply, I'm looking at purchasing a new charger/4.35V HV lipo's probably around Christmas time so hopefully these will do the trick.
with for example a 4000mah pack, .05V/cell equates to something like 200-250 drop in mah so not too insignificant. |

If you're limited by your budget at this time, I'd recommend the single 300W Reaktor and an appropriate 350+ watt power supply. It should serve your needs very admirably. |

http://lipoconnectionsolutions.com/1...rgers-1262.htm The price is right and if you buy a second Reaktor down the road you will already have enough ps to run both. |
