Default Battery Charger for Lipo and NIMH.

Been out of the seen for a while. Just picked up a couple trucks that have both Lipo and NIMH batteries. I want a charger that will charge both and balance the lipo. Help needed on what to purchase. What brand and cost? I'm hearing $80.00, don't want to spend over $100.00.

Thanks

Popular opinion seems to be that the Hyperion JeremyH linked to is one of the best available.

I just bought what is essentially the generic version of that charger from cheapbatterypacks. Haven't used it yet, but it seems like a fairly well built unit.

I also think I saw a couple hyperions in the for sale section for $60-80ish

I have a Thunder AC6 that I got from hobbypartz, which looks alot like Chris' charger, but with him you get customer support, so his gets my vote.

I'm using a hyperion eos0720inet3 and only great things to say about it. Many options and accessories to choose from and it will charge anything.
