The ProTek R/C "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo/LiFe/NiMH AC/DC Battery Charger is a single port AC/DC charger that can handle 6S packs, is capable of 10 amp charge rates, worldwide 100V/220V voltage versatility, with 100 Watts of power... the next generation of Prodigy has arrived.

Hi-Voltage Capable
This charger features a Hi-Voltage LiHV mode that allows you to safely charge Hi-Voltage LiHV capable batteries. You can adjust the charging end voltage of this mode up to 4.40V per cell, which is considerably higher than 4.20V per cell of an ordinary LiPo battery. Charging at this higher end voltage requires a Hi-Voltage LiHV capable battery, but the power gains are significant to the overall punch and power for the R/C model. But please note: battery voltages exceeding 4.20V per cell is prohibited from sanctioned racing rules, such as ROAR, IFMAR, etc.

Dual Power Input
The power source can be 11-18V DC input or a 100-240V AC source. With a builtin power supply, users can directly connect the AC power cord to the main AC input. The power supply can accept AC power from all over the world without the worry of damage.

How To Calculate Your Charging Needs
To determine if this charger is suitable for your application, you must perform this calculation to determine the maximum amp rate the charger can supply. Divide the Watts of the charger by the Voltage of the battery pack. This will tell you the maximum amp rate the charger can deliver (Watts / Voltage = Amps). For example, if using the Touch 625 AC and a 6S LiPo battery, you would divide 200 Watts by 22.2 Volts to realize a 9 Amp charge rate. This means that the charger can supply a maximum of 9 amps to a 22.2 Volt 6S battery. This amp rate will gradually reduce as the battery voltage increases during the charge cycle.

LiPo Battery & Charger Warnings:

1) DO NOT leave the battery in your model when charging
2) DO NOT leave unattended when charging
3) ALWAYS balance charge the battery
4) ALWAYS use a LiPo charging bag
5) YOU MUST use a Li-Poly specific charger to charge the pack (NiMH or NiCd only chargers WILL NOT WORK!)
6) YOU MUST not over discharge the Li-Poly battery pack
7) READ & UNDERSTAND the instructions carefully before operating this battery

WARNING NOTE: This charger is not recommended for use with Traxxas batteries with ID connectors or Spektrum Smart batteries with IC connectors. Charging batteries equipped with ID or IC connectors may require additional steps in order to safely balance charge your Lipo batteries. Please refer to your vehicle or aircraft owner’s manual for recommended batteries and charging equipment.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
Awesome charger. I’ve searched and searched for AC wall chargers that are compact yet powerful and always end up disapppointed by performance or lack of features. This little charger is extremely capable and can do all but the most aggressive charging cycles. This isn’t a 17.5 class racer’s charger but it’s perfect for nearly everything else. Very high scores for this unit!!

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
I had the first item on My Nitro MBX8T build sideways on Me and you what AMAIN had my Back ! My charger for the receiver / servo pack was not up to the challenge so I called AMAIN and a young man by the name of Josh made a stressful situation better, not only did he replace the broken item he shipped it out ASAP due to the fact that Im on a time schedule "not that its their problem" but the Young Man and the company that employs him have set a very high standard. In a time when small businesses look to cut corners for the sake of profit AMAIN doesn't, on Two occasions they have chose to do the Right Thing and take care of its customer before profit.
I can only say that the charger I purchased has had very good reviews and thats why I purchased it, the only problem was it was not recognizing the battery pack being plugged in. I use two different packs and two different cables to test every possible thing that might be wrong and So Here Endith The lesson ! Spending a little more and supporting local business goes a Long Way to Future sales and the health of any one who does business in this manner.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
Great charger for an upgrade of what I previously had. My previous charger a Redcat racing Hexfly, left quite a bit to be desired in terms of features and over time became less and less accurate. For under 70 dollars this Protek charger is an amazing price! It has all the features I could ever want, balance charge storage charge, discharge, and a ton more! I like that this has a lead for the 2-6s balance plugs to go into, my previous charger it was kind of annoying how the charger had to be basically in my LiPo fire proof bag. Having the plug that goes into the main battery as well as the balance plug allows for great charging times and the LiPo's are always balanced perfectly! For the price this charger is a no brainer. It easily beats other chargers at a similar or even higher price.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
This charger does what it says on the box. The user interface is easy to learn and settings are clearly displayed onscreen. The 10A charge rate is more than enough to cover my needs, with lap times consistently at or near the top of the field up against guys with much more “high-end” chargers and power supplies.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
Bought the Prodigy 610ez charger for its 10 amp charging capability and because it ran on either AC or DC power. As a backup to my iCharger 406 unit, it is easy to operate, compact and super light weight. Only limitation is that it discharges at a maximum of 2 amps which is slow for putting my batteries into Storage Mode (3.85V per cell).

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
It's a charger, it works, but the charging and balance leads are way too short. It's like someone's boat payment was late and they needed to shave a few pennies off the production costs. I can barely get the batteries in the charging bag.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
Pros:
Great charger for the price
Fast charger a true 10amp and is awesome for $65
Lots of features and saftey features.
VERY small charger and almost no sound.
Can set up for multi pack charging with proper balance board a huge plus.
Balnces the packs perfectly but is slow once one hits 4.20 and the other isn't.


Cons:
Sometimes the charger will say the battery is at 4.20 a cell when there no where near it, could be my batteries spiking but have no other to test, it's done it about 3 times but just reset the charge and no issues. Honestly its about 80% my batts spiking and being the issue but still about 20% likely the charger mesaing up. Since it's the first time I've had the issue but I've been using a old beat up lipo charger for a long time.


I'd buy this charger over no questions asked it best bang for your buck compared to any other o the market under the $100 price point.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
Not the fastest charger and it won't throw ten amps at a 4s cause it "watts out" around 8.5 but I can charge a gens ace redline 7500 from storage to full in about 70 minutes.

Itl charge my 4s eco power 2000mah in about 20 minutes to a half hour on 2 amps.

It's charged any pack I've needed without fault. Can check cells, storage and balance charge. Does whatever's needed. It's also affordable.

First time lipo charger owner here and I found this really easy to learn how to use safely and can charge the batteries for all of my rigs. I love the discharge feature and the balance plug is a huge improvement over the stock charger for one of my trucks

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
I needed an upgrade. I used to have a Team Associate battery charger that charged only NiCD and NiMH. I sold that old technology years ago.

I used this charger for the first time tonight. It is easy to work with. It charges my Venom NiMH and LiPo. I use it for both battery types for my Tamiya TT01 touring car and my Traxxas TRX4 trail - crawler truck. Great purchase. I am very happy with this product.

ProTek RC "Prodigy 610ez AC/DC" LiHV/LiPo Balance Battery Charger
This was my first "nice" charger. It's really good. Works as advertised. Charges one battery at a time, very well. The build quality doesn't feel bad, but it definitely feels like an old design. The interface is a little antiquated, but you can't argue the reliability of the charging. Especially for $65. The max charge rate is 10a, which is the same as most other chargers – until you get into specialized race chargers that require external power supplies and external dischargers.

Maybe this was just my unit but it throws an error code and no matter what I do I cant fix it.
But besides that it was a great charger for the first week. Hopefully amain will help me with it.
