The ISDT 608AC<\/a> is a popular 6S ac\/dc Li-Po charger. With AC input, it is limited to 60W, but in the field you can charge 200w with a xt60 power cable<\/a>. It has several modes: Charging, Storage, Destroy, and DC Power Supply. Firmware updates are easily applied with the micro-usb port. I liked it enough to buy a second unit — and then things went wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charging mode has worked great as expected. I’ve been using it with a HGLC balance board <\/a>for my larger batteries and a 1s series board for my whoop batteries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after flying my quads, I need to use the storage mode on each individual battery; that’s where the second unit came in. However, the discharge function on the 2nd unit stopped working in less than 6 months, so storage mode will work only on batteries under storage voltage. This also renders the destroy function inoperable for damaged packs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DC Power supply has been quite useful. I’ve used it with a low current limit to test powering up my quad after my questionable soldering repair. I’ve also used it to power a Matek ELRS Receiver<\/a> to flash firmware before installation. It could even be used to power a TS100 soldering iron on the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One other issue I’ve had is the first unit has a very noisy fan. I am fine ignoring it for now, and eventually I’ll swap the fan out myself. But when I tried contacting ISDT about the failed discharger, they didn’t even respond… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
