I know its not what you are looking for, but you could always make a cheap discharger with lights, and pick up an ICE or something. I think one of the higher Integy Indy chargers "might" be closer to what you are looking for, But Im not sure if they can do lipos yet? |

no matter what level of charger you plan on getting, i would still highly suggest a seperate discharger, it just releives excess wear and tear on a rather expensive charger. and depending on what kind of battery packs you are going to run, will also determine what kind of discharger you want

Get a duratrax ice, best charger I have. Then buy your self a 20 amp bull disharger and a discharge tray  I use the new Integy one, it rules.MIke |

| Integy INDI I bought a Integy Indi 16x5v6 so I could charge all kinds of packs and found very difficult to use. So difficult in fact I'm going to get rid of it. It seems like you need a degree in electrical engineering to run the thing. |

Yeah I have to agree with the seperate discharger. The discharge function on my ICE is now dead, so along with that is the cycle function. :( As soon as it starts to discharge a pack it will say that a battery has been disconnected or shorted? |
