1S–6S LiPo Balance Chargers
15 products
Also in 1S–6S LiPo Balance Chargers, currently out of stock
A 1S–6S balance charger covers every FPV flight pack from a 1S whoop cell to a 6S 5-inch pack, charging each cell to the same voltage through the balance lead. This page collects every charger in our Chargers range rated for 1–6S. The choice comes down to power (watts decides how fast a big pack charges), the number of channels, and whether you want an AC unit that plugs into the wall or a DC unit fed from a power supply or car battery.
How to choose a LiPo charger
Charging a 1300mAh 6S pack at 1C needs 1.3A × 25.2V, about 33W. A 50W charger does that comfortably, one pack at a time; a 300W dual-channel charger does two packs at 2–3C, or one 6000mAh heavy-lift pack at 1C. Watts per channel is the number to compare.
- AC vs DC: AC chargers plug straight into the wall and are the simple choice. DC chargers are cheaper per watt and often smaller, but need a 12–28V power supply or field battery.
- Channels: a dual or quad-channel charger charges several packs at once, each with its own settings.
- Chemistries: look for LiPo, LiHV and Li-ion profiles at least; storage mode and a discharge function save packs between sessions.
- Current: the amp limit per channel caps how fast a big pack can charge regardless of watts.
What we stock
HOTA's range runs from the T6 300W DC and D6 Pro 325W dual AC/DC to the S6 and S6 Ultra 650W GaN dual chargers, the D6 Ultra with wireless charging and the F6 Ultra quad-channel unit. SkyRC offers the B6 Neo 200W DC and B6AC Neo, the D100 Neo dual 100W and the D750 MIX dual with Bluetooth. ToolkitRC has the compact C6 50W AC and the M6D 500W dual DC; the Ultra Power UP9 charges four 1–6S packs at 50W each; and the HTRC T240 Duo and the classic iMAX B6AC cover the budget end.
Compatibility
Every charger here takes XT60 output leads; a few come with balance boards for XT30 and XT90 packs. For 1S whoop packs a dedicated six-port 1S charger is more practical than a balance charger. Set the correct chemistry every time: charging a LiPo on a LiHV profile overcharges it.
Charge at 1C for everyday use, on a fireproof surface, and use storage mode whenever a pack will sit for more than a day or two.
Frequently asked questions
- How many watts do I need to charge a 6S LiPo?
- About 33W charges a 1300mAh 6S pack at 1C in an hour; 100W per channel lets you charge at 2–3C or handle 3000mAh+ packs. Multiply the pack's capacity in amps by 25.2V for the 1C figure.
- Should I buy an AC or DC charger?
- AC if you charge at home from the wall and want one box. DC if you already own a power supply or charge in the field from a car or a large battery — DC units give more watts for the money.
- What is a balance charger?
- A charger that monitors each cell through the pack's balance lead and equalises them during charging, so no cell is overcharged. Every multi-cell LiPo should be charged this way.
