Reviews for ProTek RC Prodigy 612 DUO AC LiHV/LiPo AC/DC Battery Charger (6S/12A/100W x 2) [PTK-8510]

First off, I would like to say Amain is my #1 hobby store, but this charger is not up to there standards (even though they produced it). I would give this product a ZERO, if that was one of the marks. I have owned it for a year (I am a verified buyer, but the site wont recognize me as one because I purchased it at the retail location) and it worked well for the first month or so. After that, the fans when initially turned on sound like a Sherman Tank and take about a minute to quit down. Then about six months later the channel buttons began to fail, and now as I type one button wont work at all so Im down to one channel. Soon after the button malfunction the electronics started to act up.....sometimes it alerts a battery pos/neg is switched when it isnt, and it occasionally complete malfunctions and reads a bunch of crazy symbols across the screen. When it does this I have to unplug it and start over hopping it wont do it again. I dont know about you, but lipos can be volatile and the last thing I want is for a POS charger to start my house on fire. The last thing it has been doing is reading the battery charge limit incorrectly and not fully charging the battery. The fact is, this product is so bad I stopped purchasing ProTek products all together. Until I hear different about their product development, I will continue to do so....and as of today, Im on the hunt for a new charger produced by an alternative company.

i liked the charger for a while,sorta,but then the buttons stopped working,power cord way to short,a main said to wait till it comes off backorder to get a replacement,ok,well what am I to use for weekly racing?not so helpful,i have cheap chargers that have lasted much longer,dissapointed in a main,just another overpriced pile in my opinion

Broke after 2nd use. I could not charge without balance cable unlike Hyperion. This is bad when you need to need to quickly charge a nitro recvr pack.
Love the AC power but I have learned if you want a "duo" type charger, do not look for integrated power.
