No-nonsense Modes
There are total 6 operation modes ('Break_in' for NiMH/NiCd/Eneloop batteries only, 'Storage' for Li-Chemistry batteries only).
Charge the battery at the selected rate. Suitable for frequently used batteries. Discharge the batteries at the selected rate. Suitable for batteries stored for more than two weeks but less than 3 months or the batteries showing poor performance. This mode can also determine the battery capacity for battery matching. Battery forming is a charge-discharge-charge cycle which forces a full charge into the new batteries and those stored for more than 3 months at a very low rate to activate the batteries. Performs charge-dicharge cycle for up to 99 times. Cycle mode can remove memory effect of rechargeable batteries. Charge/Discharge a lithium battery to a voltage which is, theoretically, better for storing a long time while maintaining the maximum of its lifespan.
Maximum safety:
- Current Limit
- Capacity Limit
- Temperature Threshold
- Charging Time Limit

This charger is excellent, but the team managing it is ruining it and making a mess of everythingI was completely satisfied with this charger until the day I had the bright idea of contacting the SkyRC team to report a bug, which they confirmed and 'fixed' by removing a feature explicitly described in the manual.
I updated my rating from 4/5 to 0/5 because, believe it or not, this team, instead of fixing bugs, removes features that are clearly stated in the charger’s manual. Specifically, after my report, they realized that the TERMINATION CURRENT: Zero setting was only selectable in the app, not on the charger itself. And their solution? Remove the ability to set it via the app as well. Now the manual contains false information, and it's no longer possible to perform a full charge at 4.20V, which previously worked perfectly fine with just a marginal increase in charging time.
I was shocked by their approach to problem-solving, it's a massive disappointment. Never in my life would I have thought that my report, aimed at improving the product, would result in the opposite: sabotaging their own product. You are mediocre, SkyRC, and I feel it’s essential to expose this mediocrity. I will always do my best to warn others about what’s truly happening behind the scenes of this so-called 'best' charger.

Great charger, most reviews don't describe its functions correctly.Hey.
I have this charger just for a few days but that's enough for me to know this is the ultimate endgame charger. Its amazing. Tons of features, options, settings, currents. Reliability isn't something i can judge right now, but judging from how beefy the pcb is, i have good faith.
PROS
+ Fast charging & Discharging
+ Mobile app
+ TONS of settings and options everywhere
+ Supports basically any battery
+ Charges all slots at 3A without fans
+ Contact is incredibly solid. Ive had tons of chargers not make full contact properly and this blows them away completely
- Discharge only works at 2A for one battery, or 1A for 4 Li-ion slots. Most reviews get this completely wrong and had me expecting to be able to discharge batteries fast, sadly 1A is fairly slow.
- UI can be very hard to navigate before you get used to it
- App profiles are only in the app, while ones you set on the charger only on the charger. This sucks because the app is super easy to setup and could save you tons of time of setting up stuff on the charger itself
- Cooling is LOUD. Its not horrible, not whiny, but just loud. Would love to have a noctua mod. Thankfully it can be set up to only kick in above 50c making the operation quieter. Fans dont run at variable RPM tho, so its either full blast or nothing.
Don't read the cons and think this charger is not for me. Unless you need a dedicated fast discharger (get a discharger lol) this is the best charger you can get. Just hands down the best.
I do hope SkyRC is working on a color lcd screen, faster discharge charger as i would instantly buy that, but for now, this is the best.Posted on

Best charger everThe first serious charger in my life. A friend of mine recommended it and I don't regret it.
Really good charger and tester. Don't think about it, buy it :D
I strongly recommend the store, because the package from the Netherlands arrived in Hungary in 7 working days.
Good communication.
Really good shop.
Thanks!Posted on

Very good ????Thank you. The device is fully operational.
The sliders are stiff and require lubrication. The 21700 battery is inserted end-to-end, without a gap. Movable contacts, with strong pressure, can unbend.Posted on

The only charger you will ever needBought it in 2017 and was overwhelmed by it's almost limitless capabilities!
But in the beginning I didn't use the charger that often and the 'advanced' mode is so full of settings (which is amazing) that I had trouble setting it up.
So I made for myself a CHEAT SHEET which proved so useful to me that I decided to share it on a user forum.
Now it's also available for free to download off the SkyRC website.
At the moment I use the charger to revive, sort out and balance the 18650 cells of an Ebike battery pack which is so utterly helpful!
So download the FREE cheat sheet and enjoy this charger...

Great charger.Great charger but the old version from 2016 just falls apart. The quality of the plastic was poor. I hope that the new version is not of such poor quality and that it will last. This is a new version, the latest software with two fans for better cooling, although I personally did not have any problems with overheating the previous version. The price is the lowest on Nkon.

The best charger.I had Opus BT-C3100 before this. First impressions were that it is huge and difficult to use, compared to Opus. But after watching some guides, I now feel that it is mostly easy to do things. You can change anything you want and more. You just have to learn more about batteries as you make the programs, which is also a good thing.
The things I value most are that it has many safety settings and that it is accurate. Most important, temperature sensor on each battery. Plus is that it accepts 10-18 volts, so it is possible to power it from solar panel or car. And that it can charge many kinds of batteries, so you can have one charger that you trust and use.
The fans are noisy, but only turn on when discharging. It is well made, so I hope it works many years. I was hesitant about the price, but it is worth it. I have not connected it to phone or computer yet. Software sadly does not have version for Linux. Also a nuisance that it refuses to charge Li-ion batteries below 2 volts, so you have to charge them with another battery for a few seconds and then put it in the charger. And the rails may not slide well - no idea if I should lubricate and what to use.
Overall, I recommend it and if I had to choose again, I would make the same choice.Posted on
