Sourcing a rapid charger

[Jofaur86]

The "Monstertronic" is not rated for Nimh or Ni-cad which Carrion says he wants the Accucel 6 is good for all the common types of battery.

It should. I would be wary of eBay sellers - sometimes the goods are fakes coming from China despite where the seller says they are.

My suggestion is to buy from a hobby store you trust.

Only the IMAX B6 AC ( AC for alterning current ) works on mains and battery,now I confirm that be wary of cheap purchases on eBay coming from China and wich can be pale copies
After risk to take??

I just got mine several days ago and it’s fake. SOBs even have IMAX B6 printed on them. Very deceiving. Still seems to work. I just ordered the Imex X150AD charger from Erik. I like the touchscreen feature.

If you made payment using PayPal or a credit card, you have a case to claim your money back, especially as it is fraud.

Good advice but I’ll just keep it. It was only $23 and now I’ll have a backup.

That's a very risky backup, and why should fraudsters get away with it.

But it's your money, and your decision.

Well, I’ve been using it for several days and I’ve already changed the Tamiya style connector to an XT60. It was after the fact that I realized that fakes were common (learned that on this forum) and after some internet research I discovered mine was “counterfeit”. I should’ve been more aware when I was shopping. My bad. But it seems to function well enough to keep it.
Here’s the offender. Looks close to the real thing.
