The ISDT 608AC is a compact single-output RC balance charger for users who want to charge and maintain several battery chemistries with an XT60 connection. This guide covers the 608AC model, not the newer 608PD or a similarly named DC-only charger.
Power and supported batteries
Manufacturer specifications list 50W maximum on household AC power and 200W maximum on an appropriate external DC supply, with up to 8A charging current. Do not interpret the headline 200W as available from the included AC module. It supports 1–6S LiPo, LiHV, LiFe and lithium-ion packs, plus supported NiMH and lead-acid configurations when correctly programmed. One pack is charged at a time.
Connectors and setup
The charger has an XT60 main output and balance connections for applicable multi-cell packs. Check your battery’s main connector and obtain a correctly rated adapter if necessary; matching connector shape alone does not confirm chemistry, polarity or cell-count compatibility. Verify whether the listing includes the detachable AC adapter and mains lead.
Best use and limitations
Useful for a single 2S–6S RC car or aircraft battery with controlled charge, storage and balance functions. It is less suitable when you regularly need to charge two batteries concurrently or require high AC wattage. Never charge a damaged or swollen LiPo; follow the pack manufacturer’s charging limits, and do not leave charging unattended.
