What kind of power does it actually use? The specs seem to indicate that it can take in up to 72W but is that legitimate? I currently have a no name 40W iron and have been eying the Pinecil for a while but don’t know if this will be good enough to solder thicker gauge wire.
the connector is almost the only thing that matters to make it work -- you can wire up LIPOs with varying numbers of cells and it will happily work, so long as you don't go too far above specs. I've run mine in 3S, 4S, and even a 6S config, though 6S is probably really too far.
Truth be told for me it was entirely a cost thing. Was looking at name brand chargers that can do 60W power delivery & they cost more than the iron itself.
