EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
This charger is exactly what I was looking for. All I use it for is charging my mSRX batteries and it does a great job at it. I bought this for use while on deployment because having a DC only charger AND a power supply is just too much to bring around. This charger is a little bigger than your standard paperback book and has an integrated "balance board" on its right side along with the pos and neg banana ports that the charge leads plug in to. The left side has the 3 prong AC port and a (I think 5mm) DC plug (it has a lead that plugs into the DC port and has alligator clips on the other end for running off a deep cycle batt). One thing it doesn't have is a power switch so once you plug it in it comes on and stays on until you lose power. It isn't too bad but if you have it plugged into a battery you will have to disconnect one of the alligator leads when it isn't in use. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the ac cord that came with it was a little messed up in that the middle female part for ground was a tad too small so it wouldnt fit onto the charger. Its the style that is used on some laptop power supplies so I was able to use my laptop's cord. All in all, its a great "beginner" charger in the fact that it is really easy to use and its compact so if you are a travelling business person that likes to bring an mSRX everywhere you stay and want to charge more than one battery at a decent charge rate, this is a great choice. A note though, it does NOT come with a micro battery port so you will need to buy a deans to micro lead or do what I did and buy a JST to mirco parallel charging board and charge to your heart's content!

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
Bought this charger cause I needed a cheap AC charger for around the house.
Goes up to 5amps so if I'm in a rush, that helps.
Good amount of lipo charge options(charge,fast charge,balance, etc...)
Easy built in balancer so you don't have to worry about balancing boards
Has the same menu setup as all the other ecopower products so it's easy to use whether you've owned another ecopower charger or not.
Comes with large variety of charging cables that hookup to a main deans line.

ONLY THING I HAD AN ISSUE WITH:
Couldn't get the temp reading to work, bought a sensor that works with my 65 quad it will not work with this 65 AC charger.

But I still HIGHLY recommend this charger for a cheap solution to high end chargers.
Love ecopower brand chargers!

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
I bought two of these a couple months back. We have a fleet of traxxas vehicles (5 slash's, 2 slash 4x4's) so these were put to the test. It is great that they come with so many connectors but the power supply just died on one of them. Same menu and display as many other chargers which makes this very generic. It does the job and gives you the option to either balance a lipo or just straight charge it (which is faster).

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
What a great charger for the price. Runs so silently that you wouldn't know it was on unless you were looking at it. Very versatile for the charging options, but not the fastest if ypu need to do a quick turn around between races. It does tend to run on the warmer side if pushed bit doesn't loose efficiency at all. I would buy this again any day.

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
I've had this charger for about 6 months now and not a flaw yet! It's a compact battery charger that i have had to use for different cell batteries such as 2s and 4s. Works great on both. It's also pretty easy to set up and read the data not to mention the price of it. I know of the others reviews but i haven't had a hickup yet and don't plan to for quite some time. Great job on the affordable charger guys!

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
This charger worked well for me now over a year and only now I'm using it to its full potential . I'm giving it a 4 rating because it's a little difficult to understand including the directions but I figured it out and all is fine with it . I'm thinking of getting a second one because it has only a 5 battery memory and I have a lot of different vehicles , planes and a quad .

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
This is a great inexpensive charger. I was looking for a charger for 2-3 cell LiPo battery charging for my helicopters and found this to be just what I needed. For the price it's hard to beat. It's also easy to use the built in charger program, select battery type and cell, voltage, and charge rate. In addition it seems well built. I am hoping to get some good use from it. If you want a high wattage fast charger for 6S and larger this is not for you. But it's probably one of the best deals for the price. Also AMain is always a pleasure do deal with if you have any issues so rest assured they will stand behind the product and help their customers.

smaller than expected! and well made... charges fast! and feels trust worthy, would rate five star if it was not for the instructions that are made for miniature people with microscopic zoom vision.

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
$100 down the drain! Took extreme care of the charger. Put back in original box every time after use. Didn't leave it plugged in after charging etc etc / charged great to begin with but after about 3 months use the leads on the power cord that are attached to the board just burnt up! Should've kept the $$ for a better charger!

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
Purchased in Sept. Charged around 20 packs. Dead in February. Failed just like many of the others have said. First showed connection errors then would only charge below 1 amp and now will not charge at all.

Strongly do not recommend. It was nice when it worked and was a good price, but not if they fail after 3-4 months.

To bad.

Used this for two months to charge NIMH batteries. Worked great until today, when it started beeping during a charge and flashing on screen. No message to indicate what the problem is and unplugging and plugging back in has no effect.

EcoPower "Electron 65 AC" LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/5A/50W)
This charger is jeeeeeunk. After approximately 10 charges, I started to get a connection break error message. Then after a few more charges the audible alarm became muted. The banana plugs do not seat all the way into the output port. No Fan/ charger gets ridiculously hot. Now, after a few months of owning this piece of garbage, I get error message after error message.....with the screen becoming scrambled and a reset needed (read unplug and plug back in). I want to beat this thing like the fax maching in Office Space.

It's Eco alright. After a couple months, it won't be wasting ANY energy because the terd won't work.

I'm a newbie in the lipo battery world and selecting a charger turned into being a difficult process. I spent quite a bit of time researching products and trying to find the best bang for my buck being that I'm just a casual basher. I've had my EcoPower charger closing in on a month and have no problems with it to date. I'm interested in using the charging adapter for my glow starter, haven't got to that yet. Good value for the money for sure!
