I received this for Christmas. As you can see from the picture, the charger comes tightly and securely packed.
What's in the box?
1 - 4 Port Celectra charger
What's not in the box?
4 D size batteries
1 E-Flite 6V AC/DC power supply
The Build:
Either connect the AC/DC power supply or install 4 D sized batteries.
Report Card:
The Good:
-No more stock BNF chargers need to be modified.
-Charge up to 4 3.7v E-Flite batteries simultaneously.
-Runs off batteries or AC/DC power supply.
The Bad:
-6V AC/DC power supply is not included.
Charging Time:
30-40 minutes depending on size and amount of juice left in the battery when connected to charge.
Summary:
I haven't used it to charge my lipos yet, but I have a coworker who bought this about a month ago with his mCX. He's used to charge the 110mAh and 150mAh batteries and likes. I tested connecting the batteries in the slots. The 150mAh battery fit better in slots 1 and 2 while the 110mAh batteries fit easily into all the slots. They fit in the slots better than they do the stock charger that comes with the BNF planes.
This is a great charger to have if you're flying ultra micros and are flying with more than one battery. This will be a great addition to anyone's ultra micro hangar.
