Product reviewsHi-Tec RDX1 AC/DC Battery Charger/Discharger - Black/Red (44245)

Great compact charger!

For anyone currently using the "B6" chargers like the Tenergy TB6 or IMAX B6 chargers look into this Hitec as an upgrade. It's just as easy to use, It has a few more features and more information on the display plus it's more customizable. But the biggest selling point for me was how quickly it'll storage charge LIPO batteries! My old IMAX B6 would take hours to storage charge my 5200mah 2 and 3S Lipo's. This charger can do it in 30 minutes possibly faster if I set the storage charge amps to above 3 amps.

As for regular balance charging it basically the same about an hour or less depending on who much of a charge your pack has. This charger can charge up to a 6000mah pack where as the TB6 and IMAX chargers top out around 500ah.

Hitec also has a pro version of this charger to which has a 100watts for a little more money. But I'm fine with the regular version.

One last feature I like is during balance charge mode the charger will give you a percentage indictor letting you know just how much of a charge is in you pack.

The built in cooling fan is also not that loud but it's not totally silent. It's about the same as a Traxxas EZ PEAK Dual chargers fan, but without the faulty bearings that Traxxas refuses to fix.Read full review...

Worked good for a week then one day, I plugged in as normal and no display. The whole screen lights up but no letters. Just quit working after a week of light use ☹️ also, it only charges at about 2.4A off ac and DC. Even in fast charge. very bummed, had to buy a replacement. Mine is junk. Got the HTRC dualRead full review...

Nice balance Charge

Item does as described. I've used it to charge multiple lipo batteries. It's a lot quicker than the basic balance charger you get with your RTF drones. I've even saved a brand new discharged battery from the grave.Read full review...

Charging Like a Champ

Nicely set up for Dummies like me to use. A little reading of the manual and you can charge and balance like a pro. The tilt back face is great for sitting on the bench , easy to read, adjustable contrast is a nice touch also. The options to turn off the buzzer and bells add alot to my sanity. All in all a very nicely built product.Read full review...

Rdx1 pro version

I like it a lot. It’s small and portable. Easy to navigate the menu. The only issue is that it doesn’t save the amps from previous use. However not a deal breaker.
