Venom pro duo ok for 6s lipo?

[bdh5yb]

I'm new to the forum and looking at getting a kraton 6s. I already have a venom pro duo charger, but have only charged 3s. Should I get a 6s pack for the kraton, and if so would I need a new charger? This charger is only 80w, so I wouldn't be able to charge a 5000mah pack at a 1c rate. Is that a problem?

It works for 6s no problem if you upgrade I suggest a hota d6plus

It does work, just very slowly.
I have one that I use with my crawlers but once I switched to 6s it didn’t take me long to get tired of waiting. It will work fine, just be patient.

The Venom Duo Pro is Junk....

Maybe so, but it's what I have. Lol Do you recomend the hota d6plus as well?

Yes because running your charger at max constantly can lead to an early death like @Be Ready had happen.

I always recommend that at minimum for charging a 6s 5000mah lipo you will want a 150w per channel charger to charge at 1c. A 5000mah 6s lipo requires approximately 126w, quite a bit above the 80w of the Venom, to charge at 1c and since no one makes a 126w charger the next step up is going to be 150w.

I recommend the Hota D6 to everyone as I have heard nothing but good things about them. If or when my Hitec dies I'm getting the Hota.
