In this video roundup, I compare several LiPo chargers from the Reaktor line and others to see how they stack up against each other. This is not so much a review, as an analysis of the specifications of each charger, to help you decide which one might best fit your needs. This video is a culmination of a series of videos on how to analyze battery charger specifications, which you can find here:

I have to put a small addendum on what I said in the video. In the video, I said that the QuadKore charger might be good if you just hated parallel charging. That's not right. The QuadKore charger is 300 watts per channel, which is probably WAY more than most people are going to need to charge a single battery at 1C or 2C. These people could buy seven !!! Accucel-6 80 watt chargers for the price of the QuadKore and probably charge their small batteries even faster.
The QuadKore is ideal if you need 4x 300 watts. This is likely to mean that you are charging very big batteries, 6S batteries, or you are parallel charging. If you need to charge a lot of small batteries, a lot of small chargers may be a better choice.
