This charger saved me a lot of time. It is easy to use and easily charges batteries and phantom controllers. With this charger I get the same flight time as with the Phantom charger. Anyone worried about a secondary charger affecting your batteries should know that phantom batteries have all the protection built in, so as long as the charger supplies the correct voltage and amperage you won't have a problem. A note on this charger: the charging cables are always hot when plugged in. So when the bare metal contacts of two wires touch each other, it can cause a short circuit. Keep the cables covered with the included cover when not in use.
