If you buy a Turnigy Accucell 6 (probably from Hobbyking) it comes covered in labels warning you not to use it until you have read the instruction manual, yeah your in front of me, the manual is not included with the charger!!! if you GOOGLE TURNIGY ACCUCELL 6 you will find a manual that can be downloaded and printed off to a 21 page booklet.A word about HOBBYKING, I ordered this charger on the 25 November 2014, on the same day it was shown as shipped (airmail from Hong Kong via Singapore) four days later I ordered some battery adaptor cables, again it was shown as shipped the same day, two weeks ago I ordered two wheels for an aircraft I am building, they were shown as in UK stock with a 48 hour delivery promise. the cables came last week, (2 week wait) the wheels came 72 hours after the promised time and the charger came today. Never again will I order from Hobbyking, how can it take over three weeks to air mail a parcel from Hong Kong to the UK, and when you ask when your parcel is going to arrive you are directed to their tracking service, I had already tried that, it did not recognise the number I was given! Yesterday I suggested that I ask PAY-PAL about arranging a refund and as I say the parcel came today, Coincidence? Of course. shaun

Coincidence yes I'm afraid Shaun, are you trying to imply they got it next day delivered after you threatened them. The tracking numbers with hobby king are a bit tricky, if they'rve gone Malaysia post or Singapore post you have you select the correct service (which isn't obvious) the tracking won't work. Most parcels from China take this long and if you look at the shipping it says upto 32 working dates. I've had parcels take 4 days I've had them take nearly two months, however they always turn up. Such is the issue ordering from the east. I always attempt to order from hk uk now as when you factor in shipping and the possibility of customs charges it's not usually much cheaper.

Hi Jarndice, I'm sorry to hear that you had issues with HobbyKing.

I purchased the same charger off of them and it was received 5 days later.

As Tom stated you will receive your items but it's the nature of the beast when ordering from Far East.
