Update on the replacement charger. Another loud pop. All circuts dead. Unit was so hot, I could not pick it up. Packed it up and its on its way back to Amazon for a full refund. Going to be ordering a different brand. Any suggestions?
I have been considering getting one of these multi-battery chargers but I don't like what I read about failure - especially attached to and charging a potentially explosive battery. Another brand, the distributor/manufacturer has been out of stock although the site suggests it will be back in stock at a date already past. I am guessing there are manufacturing/safety issues. I guess I will stick with the official Mavic fly-more charger for the moment.
Same here, no issues whatsoeverI have the second version of the Yx 3/2 ( with the power switch,) and have been using it since about the middle of September. I do three batteries, RC, and iPad 2018 at the same time, and have had zero issues. Based on what I’ve read about problems and hardware failures, it would seem that attempting to charge four or more batteries is going to require a beefier charger.

RCGeeks one is the one I like most. It seems to actually charge the voltage to 4.4v/cell or 17.6v as per the spec. Every other charger I had would not do this.
thanks for this info was waiting for someone to test & report back.
No probs, I went for the blue one which claims 5A charge. I've metered it to about 88w/battery so it seems to check out but it doesnt stay at 5A for long. Battery charges nice and fast though.
RCGeeks also has a 4port 2A/port charger which claims similar voltages and also includes a storage mode switch which limits charge to 65%, but I've not tried that one.
All these other chargers (YX, Sunnylife) to me look like they just re-used P3/P4 4S circuit with Mavic 2 connectors on the end. Since the P3/P4 used 4.35v or 17.4v LiPos, it might explain why the batteries aren't getting charged to their maximum capacity.
No the sunnylife blue is the 6 in 1, 4 charging ports, I had that one.So you have the Sunnylife one? There have been so many named that tracking which is which is a bit confusing.
I want one that won't pop or explode or kill batteries!!! (g)
No the sunnylife blue is the 6 in 1, 4 charging ports, I had that one.
Current one I own and praise is the RC geeks blue 5 in 1, 3 charging ports.
RC geeks also make a 6 in 1 with 4 charging ports but it's white, made out of plastic and charges much slower.
Hanatora or Tercel are betterAfter 10th charge, my sunntlife 6 in 1 had loud pop too. Once and all ports are fried. Not going to buy this again. looking for 5 in 1 from YX seems to be a better choice.
