Can anybody recommend a relatively inexpensive charger to charge both X5SW & X8HG batteries
preferably 2 or more at a time of either type. I don't want another 2.00 cheapo or really want to spend more than around 50.00 but would like it to have a readout for charging for storage.

I have searched quite a bit but so far cannot determine the connector names for both of these batteries.
And I mean very specifically and exactly. Does anyone here know ?

You can get an IMAX or clone charger for $50 or less at Ebay, Banggood, etc. For the X5 I think they are called mini losi plugs. Just ordered an IMAX clone off of ebay and a JST to mini losi adapter to charge 5 1s batteries.

Most of the better chargers will have most of the connectors you will need except for the 1s's hence the adapters.

Except the one he's looking for, the X8 one. And often the Imax6 and it's clones don't come with an XT60 either.

I still do not know for sure what the connectors are for both batteries. No one seems to know for 100% sure.

This will work for your X5 batteries.

The problem with the X8 is that Syma has chosen not to follow standard protocol.

Note the battery has 2 males, while the TX's receiving end has 2 females.

This would be the more accepted arrangement. And would have made you quest so much easier.

Note it has one of each, male and female in each connector.

Don't know the size of the bullets, but maybe something from here would work.

Again you need to eyeball the pins.

The banggood cable for the X5 is on backorder till 8.21.16. wowhobby.com has it now, but it's $11.00 shipped. Got mine this morning after 5 days.

The only way I know of monitering each battery seperately while charging is to buy a charger that is able to support the charging of more than one battery at a time and that provides status info for each seperate battery. I recall seeing one of these on utube but can't remember who it was made by.
