I can't see anybody with more than 1 battery not having one.
They do say there is always one in the bunch[emoji6]Well, here I am.
I have enough batteries to fill that thing and I'm not impatient enough to spend $200+ just to charge my batteries simultaneously.
Absolutely. I've been flying fixed wing for many years, and this feature is a must for my LiPo collection.I've got the "Blue Box" 3x battery and Tx charger (less than $75) and love it. With that being said, I've almost ordered this HiTec unit solely for the "Cycle" feature. I spent 2 hours last night methodically running my 11 batteries down to "Critical Low" levels for my "cycle routine".
Nice catch. I totally missed this in the fine print. I have an email fired off to Hitec USA support to inquire about this nonsense! I looked high and low for the adapter, and nowhere is it even mentioned on any retailers product pages. I'll report back here when I hear from them.A word of warning about this charger: it is advertised as charging Phantom 3 and Phantom 4 batteries, but that's not really accurate. P4 batteries do not fit in the charging slots and it requires four "optional" cable adapters to be purchased separately - one for each slot. An these adapter cables are not even currently available, apparently. Blatant product misrepresentation, in my opinion.

That's pretty crappy.
sar104 are you looking to possibly sell yours?
I too feel $200 is a bit rich with the only benefit over the blue box is to do a cycle charge or bring it to storage charge. The need to do a full cycle is not very often and the batteries themselves can bring down the charge to storage level.
