Hey all... I'm a complete newb with quads and have a Syma X5 and x8. The charger that came with the x8 takes an extremely long time to charge a battery. Is there any other type of balance charger I can use that can speed this process up? Thanks!
Sure - any decent balance charger should charge them quicker than the stock one. In terms of a decent model at a fair price - the accucel 6 has served me well. You do need to add your own plug (power supply) - but you probably have one in a pile in your electronics drawer that will work. The X5 doesn't need to be balanced because it is single cell. But you can still use a charger like this to charge them. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7028__Turnigy_Accucel_6_50W_6A_Balancer_Charger_w_Accessories.html You can find similar models at many sites and Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Original-1~15cell-Balancer-Ladeger%C3%A4t-Netzteil/dp/B00KPM4GL2/
