I have three of them (one for a spare, but haven't had to use it yet) and they all have the same way of adjusting the settings (program flow chart). I know two of the chargers shown have the same PC 'cause I opened up two of them to repair/solder. My mistake of inserting a balancing cord backwards thus melted a circuit joint on the circuit board. You can go on eBay and type in AC680 or B6AC 80watt ...pay anything from $34 ~ $93 or go hobby site and pay somewhere in the middle for the same thing.

I'll probably get flack for saying all this and is only my opinion from past usage of the chargers and searching for the best deals.

I'm surprised nobody has jumped in here. So....the above is from another thread. I have three of the B6AC 80W chargers. I have one tucked away as a spare somewhere. I would call my chargers re-branded, re-copied something of the iMax charger line. They are about as low budget as you can get. For the past few years they do what I need them to do, and they do it well. If I were to charge anything above 3S LiPos, I probably get something with a bit more power.
