It appears to charge the batteries directly through the balance connectors. Those balance connector wires can't handle nearly as much amperage as the main leads on a battery. This would take a long time to charge car batteries. I wonder if this is more designed for the drone market which has smaller batteries. Maybe for the outfits that put on drone shows and have to charge 100+ batteries at a time.
After taking a look at the manual... Certainly not a surface battery charger.

I take it that 6A max current is for all ports combined. I wonder if it limits current per port. For example, will it charge a single 6000mah battery at 1C (6A). If so, I didn't realize you could push that much current through balance lead.

Look's pretty nice! 8 charging ports for 162 watts, $140.. hope ya ain't in no hurry to charge tho!!🤣🤣
Yeah probably not ideal. I’ll be sticking with a ISDT but this isn’t a terrible idea for drones or smaller stuff.

Ah, missed that. Good catch.
Mrs. KnowAir.. I mean Santa got me a Hota S6 for xmas. Excited to use a legit "high" powered charger!! My first..I can deligate my Imax clones for 2s duties exclusively. They're ok for $25 but anything over 2s is torture,LOL.

Did anyone else not know Dumbo and RadioLink are the same company?

I hear good things of both of those. If I were in the market, I would definitely check them out. I have 2 Flysky GT3b's that I've had for over 10 years along with nearly a dozen matching receivers..nothing spectacular but they have been good for me. I can't justify switching without reason. One of the radios is basically unused..
