Hi All. Looking to purchase a charger and dislike buying things twice. Wondering what others use and like and also, what charger would you get if you had to purchase a new one? I'm looking at the HiTec RCD X4 AC Pro. Out of stock everywhere now but likely available mid January. FT/Amain has them on backorder for $200, a fair price.
I LOVE my HiTec charger. I don't have the RCD X4, I've got the RDX1. But I absolutely LOVE it compared to my dad's Turnigy, which was only $10 cheaper. I'm seriously considering upgrading my charger soon just so I can have multiple batteries be able to be charged.
The newer chargers have Scan n' Go tech, so you can put a QR code on the battery, go into the HiTec app, find your charger, and then tell the port your battery is connected to. It then sets it all up for charge, and you just press start.
I think the reason the X4 that you're looking for is on backorder is that they're replacing it with the newer version that has Scan n' Go for all 4 ports, if I remember correctly.
One of the other things I like about HiTec is their lifetime warranty, that they're here in the United States, and more importantly, they're out of Poway, which is about 30 min. from where I live.
