HOOVOLipo Battery Charger, 2S-3S Balance Charger, B3 PRO Compact Charger for 7.4V-11.1V Lipo Batteries

UPDATE 5/13/24 Originally, I rated this unit a 4. This really isn't fair because it isn't a high power charger. I'm using it to charge a 51 Watt-Hour laptop battery, not a small R/C battery.The other advantage to this charger is that it uses the balance connector of a standard LiPo battery, which is what I needed for my laptop battery. The stronger, high power chargers require connection to the power connector of R/C batteries as well as the balance connector. The laptop battery does not have these connections. I was able to tap into the batteries with the balance connector and charge them directly.Because of these items, I raised my rating to a 5.======================================================My Dell laptop was giving me the dreaded "Plugged in, not charging" error. I tried everything I could find on the internet, but could not get it to work. I have a Dell battery (2S format) and a Dell charger, but no luck. I think it's the motherboard, and it's not worth replacing.I decided to try charging the battery directly with a LiPo charger. I wasn't sure it would work, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I chose this unit because it looked promising.As many have said, it is very slow (that's why I gave it 4 stars). It took 14 hours to charge the battery from 6.72V to 8.25V. This is not an issue since I don't use this computer much. It wouldn't bother me to charge it over night when needed. It did charge the battery so I'm going to keep it.

Bueno

This product works well, now being able to balance charge my lipo batteries quick and easy. There are no extra controls to mess around with on the device, it’s just plug in and charge through the balance leads. I’m happy with purchase.

For the money, you're not going to find a better charger.

I bought this charger with related hoovo batteries for my rc, not sure if the battery was bad or the charger, but it cell number two on the charger remained red after cell 1 & 3 were green? charger also got very hot! Seems like the over all product quality was not up to my standards. I returned for a different option and the new charger definately does not get hot at all and all lights show green when fully charged.

awesome

I appreciate that it's a cheap alternative for lipo charger ..but geeze takes all day to charge a new 2s lipo ..buttt it does work ..

As advertised it only charges at 800 ma. So a typical 5000 mah battery will take up to 7 hours depending on level of charge you start from.
