Chargery C4012B 12S balance charger review...UGG!

[ElectricGod]

Chargery BMS? Never had one to mess with. I couldn't hazard a guess about them. I have a few friends that swear by the charger they make and that it's bullet proof. I've never had one of those either, but those guys won't use any other bulk charger.

However, the balance chargers from Chargery...buyer beware! I can speak about them specifically since I've personally had 3 of them.

I have an icharger 4010DUO now. It just works 100% perfect...no issues with it at all and I specifically tested for the nonsense in the C4012B. If you need a high cell count, high current charger, got a 4010. I did a review on it over here:

So, what 12S balance charger can you recommend?
I would prefer something in the 1500W range and AC power input.
I have many separate 12s LiFePO4 battery modules to maintain, so I would prefer not to mount a BMS on every battery.

There are not many (any) to choose from, but I want one that is set-it-and-forget-it SAFE.
These require a DC power source, and appear to be the same unit with a different wrapper:

Thunder Power RC TP1225HVC

EV Peak A9

Recommendations please?

It's dual 10S, not 12S, but the iCharger 4010 Duo is pretty solid. I've had one for a good while now and used it heavily. It's definitely my go to charger!

Got to laugh at how arsy this thread is and the complete novice approach of believing what people say, it's good to say the guy is gone in that disguise for good but these threads of dribble will live on.
Chargery 24s unit is where it's at not the RC Lipo chargers that's where beginners start and novices stay anyone with a decent ride needs bigger power and less clutter, trying to weather proof an RC based system and make it easily accessible and fast to charge aa easy as the click and play of one connector and an on board bms is incomparable.
