Junsi iCharger X8 Lilo/LiPo/Life/NiMH/NiCD DC Battery Charger (8S/30A/1100W)
About this part
The Junsi iCharger X8 Lilo/LiPo/Life/NiMH/NiCD DC Battery Charger features 8S capabilities and up to 1100W of power and up to 30 Amps of charge current.
Features:
- X8 uses advanced Synchronous buck-boost DC/DC converter technology with high power, high current and high-performance power conversion circuit. The maximum charge power capacity is up to 1100W, the maximum charge/discharge current of a channel is up to 30A.
- X8 Supports 8s LiPo, Lilo, LiFe, LiHV, LTO and NiZn batteries, with maximum 2A balance current, and adopts a unique balance calculation of internal resistance correction. Supports 1-25s NiMH/NiCd batteries and 1-15s Pb batteries.
- With digital-power mode for great protection (over-current protection, over-voltage protection, input under-voltage protection, input undercurrent protection, and etc.)
- Intelligent fan control. Sensing internal temperature via the internal temperature sensor, to thereby control the fan speed.
- Internal temperature protection. When the internal temperature exceeds the Power Reduce temperature, the output power is automatically reduced; and the charger will shut down when temperature exceeds the Shut-down temperature.
- This charger can save 32 parameters sets and support the data import/export to SD card.
- A 2.4" IPS LCD screen provides rich information including current, voltage, power, capacity, internal resistance, control status, time-consuming and temperature, etc.
- Multi-discharge features: self-discharge, regenerative to input discharge, and lithium battery extra expanding discharge.
- Supports measurement for internal resistance of battery offline and online. Can measure not only the internal resistance of the entire battery pack, but also measure the internal resistance of each cell within the lithium battery.
- X8 has protection for reversed polarity (input or output), input voltage/current, battery temperature, charging capacity, overrun time and maximum power etc.
- Supports upgrading the hardware program by USB port or SD card. X8 also supports the “Junsi Console” software and can display, plot and analyze the charge and discharge data by it.

Purchased these back in August 2019. I'm not a heavy user at all. Maybe a couple batteries charged a week, if that. One of my chargers is suffering a fan failure already. The rest of the features are great, but I just can't recommend based on quality. Companies should know better than to put low quality fans in units like these. Especially when the fans are small/high RPM.
Been using this for a while now and am really happy. It's small and works great. As a few other have said, the selector wheel and navigating can be tricky/clunky if you are switching a lot to charge different cell batteries. For me, i just use it for 2 cell batteries lipos so it works for me.
I already own 1 of these X8 iChargers and love it! It's been a great unit. I read other reviews and complaints about the selector guide wheel being too sensitive and/or clunky to use, but I haven't had an issue with mine. since it's a multi selector switch, you need to use the scroll feature with light pressure and then only push in when making a selection or to return back to home. Mine has been great and i'm ordering a second unit as well.
I am really enjoying these chargers. Easy to use and set up. The only drawback, I am experiencing a problem with the dialer button as it sometimes gets stuck when pressing. This occurs with both the chargers as I purchased two of them.
I bought this to compliment my 406Duo which is working out perfectly. Also figured since the 406 has a max 6S get this in case I would ever want to charge an 8S for some reason. Great for charging multiple batteries per round and as a back up/spare charger.
Reviewers generally rate the iCharger X8 highly for its feature set, compact size and ease of use once the interface is learned. Several find the selector wheel clunky or overly sensitive, and one reports the dial sticking on two units. One owner reports a fan failure within a short period of use, and another reports stripes on the screen out of the box. Owners say the charger handles multiple batteries well and that the data collection software works well. One 1/5 review is about a different product (a servo) and one 1/5 review is from a non-user, so they were given little weight. Overall, the feature praise is consistent, but hardware reliability reports are mixed.
- + Easy to use once learned
- + Strong feature set
- + Data collection software works well
- + Compact and suitable for multiple batteries
- − Selector wheel clunky or too sensitive
- − Dial button sometimes sticks
- − Reported fan failure
- − Reported screen stripes on arrival
