Due to the hupla I got my charge right here in the USA from Value Hobby, I have charge several batteries so far all seems good it even let me know of a bad cell as in the vid. I've been setting up for a new FPV system and using power for testing and then measure and the charger matches all my other equipment and as far as my power supply I'm thing of throwing my Sky Charger to it as well to charge 5 at a time to monitor amp draw, so far it's below my breaker limits although I moved it to a kitchen outlet thats 20amps. sorry guys but There is no women in this house to fuss (no guys either easy now) Any problems I'll let ya'll know. (I still keep a charged extingiouser handy class halon)

Thanks but 4 or 5 years ago they were 15 bucks stay in the hobby a while and watch things change. By the way my Sky Charger I paid around $65 for is now about 30% less now but if the big names keep buying up the small companies you will see it go back up. Fly Safe and Fly Long..!!

that gt power charger looks exactly the same as my hitec version ,
everyone beware of the turnigy version in the plastic case, IT cannot charge all four channels at a decent amperage without burning, I opened mine up once it was fried and the IDIOTS at turnigy, I cant say IDIOTS with enough vigour to do it justice, had pulled the bottom two chargers power supply, off of two pins !!!!!!! and whats worse, the track which supplies two of the chargers, passes by the pins of the lcd displays, and is reduced to maybe 1/4mm width, supposedly being able to supply 10A.

beware of cheap chargers, they are cheap for a reason.

I purchased the new HobbyKing charger with built in power supply, still waiting to get it. Will post a review of it when I get it, but the charger system seems to be the same as any other charger out there - Accucel 6 or ECO 6.
