A powerful charger is an essential accessory. There’s a ton of good options to choose from. Thunder Power is adding to that selection. Their new TP820CD can put out up to 800 watts of power from two independent charging ports, which is enough to allow you to charge up to 8S LiPos on both ports at the same time. But [...]
