Charger looks great and has a nice interface, that’s where the good stuff ends. This charger has software bugs that require you to power cycle the charger to resolve and you can not use an external discharger without major complication. This charger is not suitable for anyone serious about their racing, especially if battery cycling is part of your program. My first and last Cayote purchase.
Best charger ever. Unless you need to discharge batteries in 7 minutes, this is the machine for you. All in one - looks cool as sh$%. Noiiice.
CAYOTE charger works amazing. I used it all weekend at the vintage race and worked flawless! Wouldn’t buy any other charger!
The performance is also impeccable, and the charging amperage can be set high. For now, isn't this the highest performance? If you're unsure about which charger to choose, this is the one!
Really slick little charger. The display is one of the best I have seen and overall the charging unit is intuitive to use. There are really solid features on it including the balancing and storage functions for the batteries.
Eight of nine reviewers are verified owners who rate this dual-battery AC/DC charger 5/5, praising its intuitive interface, large display, balancing and storage functions, solid performance, and suitability for race use. One verified owner rates it 1/5, reporting software bugs that require a power cycle to clear and difficulty using an external discharger, particularly for battery cycling. The reviews are generally positive, but the single negative report describes a recurring software issue and a discharge limitation that the other reviews do not mention. Several positive reviews are brief or enthusiastic without technical detail.
