SkyRC MC3000 Universal Battery Charger & Analyzer

Best battery tester and charger for the money.

Really like this charger. As far as I know , it is one of the most advanced hobby charger on the market. It can be used as a simple, accurate charger , or programmed to function a multitude of testing and battery conditions .

The features and performance of the SkyRC MC3000 are in line with the marketing and have met my expectations, however, the spring loaded contact for the second bay seemed to have a catch. Now, after only a week of operation, the contact for the second bay deformed while inserting a battery for charging. I am now left to wait to find out if 18650BatteryStore determines this to be 'user error' or qualified for warranty. I'm not holding my breath.

Outstanding charger. Very happy with decision to buy at a decent price!

I bought a second one because I liked the first so much. I run battery tests on both of them now saves me some time when building battery packs.

This charger was pretty pricey and more complex than the other ones out there, but it feels more robust and there are way more customization options available with the MC3000.

Interface is not super obvious, but the unit works great. Still need to explore computer interface.

Does what it is suppose to do, but the user interfaces could use some improvement. It would be extremely nice if you could update the individual programs from the PC or smart phone applications. The PC application is easy to use but doesn't allow saving the profile that you are using, thus every time you want the same profile you have to set it up again. The smart phone app on the iPhone works pretty good and allows saving the profiles that you set up. There are a couple of things that are not real obvious but once you figure those out the app works good and is easy to use. Again it would be nice to be able to save the programs directly to the device so that it could be easily used without requiring the smart app or PC app.

there are so many bells and whisles on that charger , not to forget the software to program the charges from your pc or your phone, that im freaked outand i love it, the only draw back is the delivery time which was a little bit over the 10 delivery days mentionned on the site, despite of that, to my knowledge this device deserves the 5 stars

Unquestionably the finest charger I've ever encountered that has every tweakable option that's over my head until I study how to use them but there's a dummy mode. Twice the price of competitors but 4x the quality so if you're a techtype into topnotch this gold standard. The only thing it doesn't do is charge 21700's at least button tops but I don't know for sure cuz don't have any 21700 flat tops to test. But those come with USB in em & a single slot 21700 charger is readily available for & $10.

Exactly what i was looking for, complete control over the charging process. The charger despite having a lot of options, is easy to configure even in advanced mode. Once you pick battery type, mode, and capacity you get all the other options filled out for you with reasonable defaults that i have had no need to deviate from. It was even able to bring back some of my batteries that were completely dead and not registering or charging, you just hold down the slot # button for that battery and it will force a charge in there and for me it brought them back enough to do a normal charge cycle. Also the Phone app is pretty nice for connecting via bluetooth, it's easy to use and makes sense. My only complaint is that the bluetooth range is not very good, but i don't really mind as it just sits on my desk anyway, but if i leave and go a to a different room the connection is not reliable. i won't take off a star for the bluetooth as it's just a nice to have convenience that really doesn't matter to me personally.

Amazing charger! This charger does everything I was looking for, High current charge and discharge functions, mAh value display for battery matching, and super customizable. The interface takes a bit to learn, but you can also control this charger easily over Bluetooth and PC Link. Extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I have been thinking about getting this charger for a while and finally did. I am very happy with it. The good: It lets you adjust just about anything you can adjust about how your batteries charge or discharge. I really appreciate the ability to set a final charge voltage and stop charging current, any charge/discharge rate in its range and the ability to charge/discharge to a storage state of charge. It took me about 30 minutes working with the manual to get a feel for the user interface and I find it very easy to use now. I think the MC3000 will charge just about any round battery chemistry on the market today so I have a great charger for any rechargeable battery I'll ever get. It seems very well built, but time will ultimately tell on that score. This is the two fan version of the MC3000. The not so good: The bay sliders are a bit 'scrunchy' as has been noticed in other reviews, so I guess it's just designed this way. The Android app is neat, but it has Bluetooth connection issues with my phone so I don't use it. Connecting to my PC and using the Windows interface is much better. You can control the charger from it but it's not the most intuitive to learn. I played around with it a few times, learned what it can do, and decided to leave it alone unless I want to keep a graph of a charge or discharge cycle. It's easy enough to use the buttons on the charger and then I don't need to have my computer running. IMO, this is the ultimate charger for round batteries if you know enough about rechargeable batteries to use the features.

I have waited for a long time to make this purchase. I think this is the most expensive charger on the market but it is also the most capable, nearly every size battery and nearly every type of battery from nicad to li-on and all of the various types. I even have some li-on AA's that i think i can charge on this charger. It is as smart (or dumb) as you want it to be. You can use it in "dummy" mode and just let it do what it thinks are right, you can go expert and fully control ever aspect, final voltage, resting time, trickle charge. The amount of control in expert mode could be overwhelming for some. But it is a great charger.

Haven’t used it yet so I really don’t know Haven’t used it yet so I really don’t know

Great charger! Does everything I wanted and more. Features comparable to a PowerLab, but for single cells. Great stuff.

SkyRC MC3000 charger Exceptionally fast service and shipping! Product received without issue and works great, best charger I've bought so far. You can perform a capacity test on 4 individual cells at a time where most chargers only allow you to complete it on one cell.

My New Battery Charger The 18650BatteryStore shipped my charger quickly and well packaged to protect my purchase. I was even notified on the day it was to be delivered. My first time purchase from The 18650BatteryStore was very positive and I am looking forward to making many more purchases from them. Truly a 5 Stare store.

Good charger I bought this charger for me and my brother we love this charger we were recommended for everyone

Excellent charger I hate buying things twice, so when I recently needed a charger for 18650 LiIon batteries (well, cells...), I started shopping around. I was quickly led to this website, and after perusing the options and reading reviews on this and other sites, selected the SkyRC MC3000. After using it, both stand-alone, and with both the 'connected' modes (Bluetooth and USB/PC), I'm very happy with it. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of five, is because of the software and firmware. The operation needs more refining and optimization. It has enormous potential, and, as a community-developed device can quickly become a market leader for higher end chargers. Highly recommended!

Best charger Love it, can control charge/décharge, USB via 3rd party software to monitor everything. The official software is ok, Bluetooth work well, but sometime it disconnect, maybe distance, my cellphone... But e erything. Else work number one!

MC3000 Great charger with super easy iPhone controls
