Default Your opinions on what charger

I have a onyx nimh/nicd dual output charger and a single output lipo charger. I'm wanting a charger that can charge multiple types and sizes and want atleast 4 simultaneous chargers at once. I would prefer a doc charger to stay on cheaper side and am building my power supply now. Is the hitec x4 a reliable charger cause it is the only one I have really found.

I have an iCharger 206b that I love. I can charge four 5000mah packs in an hour using a parallel charging cable, or any combo up to 20a output. I'd rather run on charger with parallel cables for multiple reasons.

1. I only have to set and mange one keypad no matter how many packs I'm doing.
2. I can charge more than 4 packs if they're smaller packs, my heli and other stuff run smaller packs, and I can charge a crapload of those at once.

I bought 2 (could be 4)x6 chargers from valuehobby.com they do 1-6s up to 6 amps. lead-acid,nixx,nimh,lipo and life. for $20 a charger. setup in an alu case with the power supply(server) and ducting under the chargers for cooling. with enough room left over to hold 6-8 lipo batts in the fire bag. only 1 plug to 110v and they are ready to go at a moments notice.

The Hi Tec can charge 4 at once. I had 1 once apon a time and loved it. Had to sell it because I needed the money. Wish I would've never done that.

In thinking the hitec cause it can be a home base charger. I'm going to setup my current chargers in a box in the back of my work truck so I have them in the field. I've got most of it setup for the mobile station.

The Hitec X4 plus is a great charger. It balances perfectly every time and charges a 5000mah 3s in a out an hour at 1c. I would definitely buy it again!!!
