Battery charger recommendations

[Colin Allen]

Thanks for the advice. I went for 2 in the end, the T100 and the isdt 608pd.
The latter being a more portable for game days and the t100 a better one to discharge and ensure longevity of my batteries.
Cheers

I bought an ISDT 608PD, just to try it out. It doesn't function on the input from a high capacity and high output power bank, but is ok on mains power. How is yours working?

Hi Colin,
To be honest, I haven't figured out how to run it off a power pack or the mains.... My son seems to know how it works. But only on the usb c from the mains.
When I plug a PowerPack in. (Anker 10,000) It just turns the power pack off.
The t100 seems easier to use, but again son knows how it works better than me.
I'll keep playing with it, and see what happens. I'll keep you informed.
Rick.

I have now established that it only runs off a DC input (either XT60 or USB-C), so no direct mains, which is not really a problem. What is slightly more concerning is that it does not seem to charge accurately, although I guess it is adequate for an emergency charge during a game day; however, I would rather just take a spare battery than the unit and a power pack. I think that mine might end up in the back of the cupboard or in the bin.
