Chargers that can do 7-8s

[Logan's_Rcs]

I'm looking at running a 7s pack with a 1350kv motor, but I'm not sure of what chargers may work with this voltage. I would like to be able to go up to 8s in the future as well. Are there any chargers out there that can charge a 7s pack?

Thanks!

I didn't know they made 7s. Largest non-commercial I have seen is 6s.

What car? Is that a Tekin or Hobbystar 1350kv? I have a Hobbystar and have considered trying it on 8S.

I think Hota, ISDT, and iCharger all make 8S chargers.

ISDT makes a cheap one that charges up to 8s

Hota T8, ToolkitRC M8, iCharger CX8 + DX8, iSDT Q8 + K2 + Air8
Toolkitrc has a checkered past with QC, not sure if they got it together now. Flipside, iCharger used to be king but I don't know where they stand now. Hard to go wrong with isdt. I like Hota for the price/performance ratio.
If doing 8s packs, think about total wattage. A 500w total, dual channel charger is going to max out at only 8amps/channel on 8s.

I use an ISDT Q8. It requires a power source, but will handle up to 8s and 20 amps.

Have had an Toolkit RC M8P for a while and only complaint is that it stays on the last setting. So I have thought I was charging and was actually doing a storage charge/discharge. It's the only ToolkitRC charger I've had so if the earlier ones had problems I missed it.
Actually have one of the ISDT Q6 Pro chargers that if you try to use a parallel board it will spit out an Abnormal Connection error. So I use it for single batteries. Otherwise it works fine along with the Q6 nano which can do a parallel board.

It's actually a TP 4060 1350kv. I'm unsure if 8s would be too much for it, I think 7s would be great

Nice. I think that motor would handle 8S with a smile. I'd be more worried about your drivetrain.

Not all esc register odd number s. The hobbywing max6 dosent register 5 or 7s on auto detect for example. Just be cautious till you know for sure.

I think some of the Castles do. Right, not the Hobbywing.

I am aware, but I have the MMX8S which does.
