The V3 2S/3S LiPo/LiFe Charger is probably the most inexpensive balance charger on the market. However, you get what you paid for, because it can only balance charge two and three cell batteries. In this article, we review this affordable charger and see how it performs.
The V3 2S/3S LiPo/LiFe Charger comes in an attractive cardboard box (see photo below). Its design is not only pleasing, it is quite functional.
The photo below shows the content of the box. The balance charger is on the left, the AC power cable is in the middle, and the instruction sheet is on the right.
You'll find an LiPo/LiFe switch on the bottom of the charger (see photo below). I have gotten this charger to charge my LiFe battery pack, so I have set the switch to the LiFe side permanently. If you will be using this charger with both LiPo and LiFe batteries, you'll need to remember to change this switch. This switch really should be on top or in front of the charger to constant remind you of its settings.
The charging ports is in front of the unit. There are two ports (see photo below). The three pin port is for two cell batteries (two positive connector plus a ground connector). The four pin port is for three cell batteries (three positive connector plus a ground connector).
