ISDT C4 vs Kyosho SpeedHouse Multicell Charger

Thought I'd post this before someone else makes the same mistake...

Kyosho has released their new Speedhouse Multicell Charger, 72011.

https://rc.kyosho.com/en/72011.html

It is simply a re-brand of the ISDT C4 charger which you can get on Amazon for more than half the cost (if not 1/4 of the cost).

https://www.isdt.co/c4-2.html?lang=en

There is one issue with the ISDT OEM model... it does not come with the AAA adapter. So it can only charge a pair of AAA batteries.

The Kyosho model comes with an adapter tray that lets it hold four AAA batteries. Still not worth double or four times the price.





---

Hopefully someone will 3D design one and sell or ISDT might start selling it. I'll keep an eye on Kyosho's website to see if they ever sell the adapter as a spare part (since it could get lost).

For now I'll just order some cheap AAA to AA converters from Amazon.

Cheers
Tim

I noted the rebrand in the original post for this and completely agree, nothing they can add makes it worth the insane markup.

Saw this 3D printed one. Don't know if there's any better options: https://www.*******om/itm/AA-to-AAA-...gAAOSwwmBdqA9E
