ToolkitRC Q6AC Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger — LiPo, LiFePO4, NiMH & Lead-Acid
One Charger. Every Battery Chemistry.
The ToolkitRC Q6AC is a professional-grade multi-chemistry charger built for RC hobbyists, drone pilots, and anyone who works with multiple battery types. It handles LiPo, LiHV, LiFePO4, NiMH, NiCd, and lead-acid batteries with the correct charge profile for each chemistry, and includes a built-in AC power supply so you can plug directly into a wall outlet without a separate power brick. Charge, discharge, balance, and store — all from one compact unit.
Features
- Multi-chemistry support — charges LiPo, LiHV, Li-ion, LiFePO4, NiMH, NiCd, and lead-acid batteries with the correct profile for each
- Built-in AC power supply — plugs directly into a wall outlet; no external power supply required
- Balance charging — balances individual cells in multi-cell LiPo and Li-ion packs for maximum capacity and longevity
- Discharge function — safely discharges batteries to storage voltage for long-term storage
- Storage charge mode — charges or discharges LiPo packs to the optimal 3.8V/cell storage voltage
- Adjustable charge current — set charge current to match battery capacity for safe, efficient charging
- Color display — clear display shows battery voltage, cell voltages, charge current, capacity, and time
- USB output — built-in USB port for charging phones and accessories from the charger’s power supply
- Compact design — small footprint for bench, field, and travel use
Who It’s For
- RC car, plane, and drone pilots who charge LiPo packs regularly
- FPV drone pilots who need fast, reliable LiPo charging with balance
- Hobbyists who work with multiple battery chemistries and want one charger for all of them
- Anyone who needs a professional-grade charger with storage and discharge functions
How to Use
- Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet via the built-in AC input.
- Connect your battery to the appropriate charge port using the correct connector (XT60, JST, Deans, etc. — adapters may be required).
- For LiPo packs: connect the balance lead to the balance port for cell-level balancing.
- Select the battery chemistry, cell count, and charge current on the display.
- Start the charge cycle — the charger will automatically balance cells and stop when full.
- Use storage mode before long-term storage to bring LiPo packs to 3.8V/cell.
Frequently Asked Questions
What charge current can it deliver?
Check the variant specifications for maximum charge current (typically 6–10A for the Q6AC). Set the charge current to 1C (1x the battery’s capacity in Ah) for safe charging — e.g., 1A for a 1000mAh pack, 5A for a 5000mAh pack.
Do I need a separate power supply?
No — the Q6AC has a built-in AC power supply and plugs directly into a wall outlet. This is one of its key advantages over chargers that require a separate DC power supply.
Can it charge multiple batteries at once?
The Q6AC charges one battery at a time. For parallel charging multiple packs simultaneously, a parallel charging board is required (sold separately) — only use parallel charging with packs of the same cell count and similar voltage.
