This is a charger that can do way more than I'll ever need it to do. I bought it so I could recondition older batteries and be able to charge some that have been depleted too much for other chargers to charge, as well as other things. I also like that it can charge any kind of battery you have without having to manually put in the battery type. It has 4 slots to which all operate independently. It will automatically analyze the battery and charge accordingly. This charger is bigger than most but it can accommodate almost any size battery, and it has built in automatic fans to keep it cool. It has 3 different modes to accommodate dummies to battery nerds. Dummy mode is it's name for fully automatic. It has a middle mode that allows you to make certain settings such as charge current, and an advanced mode that allows you to input all the charge, discharge and whatever else you want it to do parameters. This charger also has programmable settings so you can program each slot independently to do whatever you want it to do. This is where the nerds have fun! But it can also be set to charge the batteries fully, or to a storage voltage if you want to store your batteries for a period of time easily and automatically. This charger can also check your batteries to see if they will actually stand up to their claimed ratings. You can check internal resistance and just about anything else you want it to do with a battery. This is an advanced charger and is geared toward the battery nerds. But it can also be safely used by anyone just wanting to charge their batteries. You can get very good chargers to do that for alot less money, but if you'd like to be in control of how your batteries are charged and be able to do much more than just charge your batteries, you've found the one that can do about anything you could possibly want it to do! It's been around for years so the bugs have been worked out. Best of all, this charger uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone or PC. Download the free app and you can do most of your programming from your phone! A much better option than using the buttons on the charger which are rather noisy. If you need quiet, the phone app is a must! But it's cool to use anyway and has great color graphics. If you're a battery nerd, you have found the ultimate charger/analyzer! Buy it! You won't be disappointed!
PS: SKYRC has a newer model, the MC5000 that will be released soon. Cost is going to be a bit more than the MC3000, but that's to be expected and with the new tarrifs who knows. But my initial thoughts after reading a bunch of reviews by people who have been able to get their hands on one are mixed. While the MC5000 has a completely different look with a thumb wheel that also clicks when pushed down to enter settings, and a new color display, I have heard complaints that it doesn't have a "dummy" mode, and some other features that the MC3000 does have. Some have said that it may be able to do the things it can't do now with firmware updates of which I hear it has already had many. Personally I think I'll be happy with my MC3000 until all the bugs are worked out. These things are like new car models. It takes a few years to find and fix all the bugs, and all new models come with bugs! If they don't at least include all the features of the MC3000, I don't think it's going to appeal to as many people including me! Why make a new model that can't at least do everything that the older model can do with some upgrades? Doesn't make sense, but we'll see what people think of it soon enough. It should be released very soon. I've heard that it's available now at a couple sites, but it's not available on Amazon or any other site that sells battery chargers as of today 6/19/25.. Hopefully SKYRC will tweak to be at least as desirable as it's predecessor. We'll see!

A powerful charger, with a plethora of features.
This charger gives fine grained control over charging, discharging, and analyzing batteries, with the ease of a spring loaded battery holder. It can be dialed in to match a batteries exact specifications. But be warned, with great power comes great responsibility. Know your batteries requirements, and adjust settings accordingly. Build quality is quite good. The frame is large, and made with above average metal contacts. The plastic used seems very strong, and air ventilation is adequate when discharging four batteries at once. As others have noted, the buttons are a bit dated, but they are functional, and will likely last a long time, especially given the app, which I will discuss next. The Bluetooth app is fantastic, and the primary way I program and control the charger. Setting up programs is much easier with the app, and names can be used (rather than a number) when saving them. That makes remembering what each program does and is intended for much easier. My only complaint about the app is that the slots a program uses are preset when saving, rather than selected when being run. It's usually necessary to go in an change the saved first before running a program. All in all this is a great charger, and has every feature one would want in a device that ultimately does relatively basic things.
