Default Is the HobbyKing ECO6 Balancer/Charger any good.

Looking for another lipo charger and wanted something inexpensive but that works good.

Does anyone have this charger and do you like it.

Just remember, you get what you pay for. If it doesn't work, it's yours. No customer support. If it's cheap, it's not going to work for long.

You don't want to cheap out on a charger. Buy a good quality one and you'll be happy for a long time. Some people claim that they are so cheap that it's ok to have to buy another one later. I look at it why not just spend the money for a good and only have to buy one. And besides that, Hobby King stuff just sucks anyway.

I agree however I have a fake IMAX from HK and a genuine one. The fake doesn't have lipo storage function that I can find! Otherwise 3yrs later it is still the same ad the genuine one (balanced to 0.01 of a volt just like the genuine one).....

I have been into the hobby for 20 years plus and the best cheaper charger I have found is the one in the link or an Thunder AC6 charger,both are well known and work good.
