There are lots of easy-to-use charger options available, but they’re usually for NiMH OR LiPo packs–not both. Hobby People’s new Activator EZ works with both cell types, and a single button is all it needs to do the job. You press the button to select NiMH or LiPo, then hold the button down to begin charging. That’s it. The NiMH or LiPo LED will glow red to show charging is in progress and confirm which charging method is in use. When the charger chimes and the LED turns green, the pack is charged. It’s easier than tying your shoes. The Activator-EZ can charge up to 6S LiPos with full balancing capability, and is AC/Dc so you can use it anywhere. And it’s just $50!
Here’s the official word from Hobby People:
This is a Hobby People Activator EZ LiPo Battery Charger. The Activator EZ charges 2S to 6S LiPo and 1 to 15 cell NiMH battery packs with just the press of a button.
