This is what makes it hard to get advice for chargers. Some people hate certain brands, others love 'em. It seems kinda hit or miss. Sometimes I wonder if it's the chargers or the batteries that cause the problems people have. I have a cheapy charger that nobody else seems to use (Prophet Plus LCD) and it seems to get the job done, although I'm not a real stickler when it comes to batteries. As far as the spendy chargers go, I hear the Duratrax ICE charger is pretty neat. In my opinion it seems that quality isn't associated with price as much as bells-and-whistles are. |

I use the Duratrax Intellipeak twin. It charges 2 batterys at once and I love it with my gp3300's. But they suck with nicd's...false peak all the time. But if your only using nimh batteries I reccomend it, and it's only about $75. Heavy |

I have the purple brains they seem to work fine for me. My buddy has one of the duratrax intellipeak twin chargers. The charger seems to over charge my 3300 and 3600's or at least the packs get real hot.
