Tenergy TB6-B Balance charger discharger review
Before I start this review I want to talk about battery safety this is very important and should not in any circumstances be overlooked.
Before charging always inspect batteries for damage to the wires and the protective outer casing. Check for swelling of the battery pack.
DO NOT CHARGE if any of these faults are found.
Dispose of your batteries responsibly by taking them for recycling and do not throw them in the regular rubbish bins.
For LiPo batteries consider purchasing a charge safety bag.
