takes care of all of your charging needs with 80 watts and 6 amps...What is this, some kind of sick joke?


Thats not even enough power to charge a 4s cell at 6 amps...

Hah, you beat me to it. I do like the battery holder on top, but does that heat up the battery while charging giving a false read on voltage? Don't LiPos actually increase voltage with temperature, and a hot battery would have its charge terminated earlier than a cool battery. Just a thought.

Does look neat though, and I like the USB outputs on all the new stuff coming out.
