For Windows 8.1 (圆4 ) details look at the comment by "Joe Kimmes" found in the comments below this post. This is based on my experience using Windows 7 (x86 ). Here are the steps to set up the computer software. In all honesty, I really like being able to view the charge progress in the form of a plot during and after using the charger. So, one very nice feature of this charger is it's lovely Chinglish data-logging software. Sadly, I am not getting any money for recommending this charger, and I did in fact purchase it with my own money, so I can honestly say this is a completely honest review and assessment. Several other sites which are linked in my "Beginner RC Airplane Setup" document above. If you'd like to purchase this charger, you can find it at the "Thunder AC680" link above, or it is located at Many chargers of this quality sell for 3x this much, so I have got to say, I am extremely impressed. To top it all off, this charger is available for ~$55 with shipping from, which is a steal-of-a-deal. Lastly, by using the charger's cycling abilities, I've been able to reduce or remove the "memory" effect of many of my old NiCad batteries, and I've even been able to bring back "dead" NiCad batteries, which were over 10 years old!, to at least a usable condition after years of sitting around unused. I've used a charger like this to charge and/or discharge (to check the capacity) of cell phone batteries, camera batteries, airsoft gun batteries, 18V cordless drill batteries, and dozens and dozens of various RC aircraft or radio transmitter batteries. Also, by using it to discharge a battery, you can measure the capacity (mAh) in the battery to get an idea if the battery is any good, and whether or not the manufacturer of a cheap rechargeable battery (on ebay for instance) ripped you off. To the layperson, this means that with the right connector, it can charge any rechargeable battery in your house, car, or workshop. This charger can handle LiPo/LiFe/Li-Ion, NiMH/NiCad, and Pb battery chemistries. First off, I'd just like to say that I love this charger, and it makes an *excellent* starter charger for someone looking to get a fully functional, computerized, smart charger capable of charging, discharging, cycling, and balancing.
