Default A good, cheap 110-capable lipo charger?

Sorry for the n00b question, but I'm new to lipos, having run nicads since my first Tamiya Pajero and Frog back in 1872. If it wasn't for Tamiya, the South would be in control, I yell ya.

Anyway, it seems like all the reasonably-priced lipo chargers are D/C-input only. Can anyone recommend a good A/C charger that doesn't break the bank? Seeing as how converting to D/C isn't that expensive (as evidenced the the PC PS conversion thread in this forum), I'm assuming such a thing must exist....

I just picked up a Losi Micro Crawler today, and would like to pick up a couple of 2s batteries to run with it.

X2 on the AC6!!!!!!! It only comes with one balance board, i think its a hyperion type, you may have to make something up for other types of balance plugs. For the price and performance, it's well worth it.
