Default Please recommend a good Lipo charger

I sold my GT Power 606D charger. Looking to get a good lipo charger. I use 2S batteries but might try a 3S.
Looking for a AC/DC.

Thanks

ive had really good luck and life out of my duratrax onyx 245 after my 230 gave up after over 5 years of service...they are fair priced and simple to use. I recently just picked up a new charger a imax b6ac as a backup only because I needed a charger with a "storage" function and it treats me well just like the onyx.another good thing about both these chargers is you don't need a bulky power supply. hope that helps you out...side note the thunder ac6 is a good charger too as I was looking at that charger as well.

I got my Onyx 230 out of the Scratch-N-Dent bin of an online retailer, and it's done me well for years. It doesn't have a balancer, so I run an old Team Checkpoint charge-through balancer, and charge my crawler packs through the balance tap. My bigger packs, I don't trust running 5-6 amps through a balancer tap, so I just charge those through the main leads and use the Checkpoint in regular balance mode.

I bought this... (specs in the link)

HP "TAZR"

I recommend not skimping on a battery charger.
a "smart charger" is worth the investment IMO

Well that Thunder AC6 looks similar to my GT 606D.

How about this one? http://hitecrcd.com/products/charger...harger/product
