Battery Charger Hunt - HELP

[redsawacs]

TONS of research and I am nowhere with this. Ok, well I found one or 2 but OUCH - price!!!

I am looking for a charger with the following capabilities:

AC/DC - no external power supply
Lipo capable
Dual output
Adjustments in .1 increments from .1-5or6 amp - whatever
digital readout
balance capability
Hopefully under $150

I have a venom pro charger (the flat, metal, red one) and it works great - but I can only do one at a time. I could buy another one but it has the external power supply and I want to avoid that. However, 60$ is looking like a much nicer option at this point.

If I could take 2 of the current charger I own and smush it into one case - I would be a happy man......

2 of these at your price range: Hitec X1+ AC Single Port AC/DC Charger

Onyx 245 AC/DC Dual Charger w/Balancing

I am looking for similar specs, so this peaks my interest.

In the classifieds right now.

Not a lot of options in the AC powered category. The duratrax linked above came to mind. You get a lot more options and higher charge rates if you can go DC powered. It's pretty easy to make a 12v PSU from an old computer or server power supply.

The Onyx 245 will only charge 1-3s LiPo. Kinda limited there.

Only reason I havent picked one of these is the preset charge rates.

For the 100 bucks shipped for the one in the classifieds if I didn't already have 3 chargers I would be all over that.

Jaloos, I appreciate your entheuism, but it has an external power supply and I am not fond of HK electronics.

Thank you just the same. I saw it the other day when it was posted.

No worries. For what its worth I have seen enough of these chargers to come to the conclusion that they are pretty much the same as far as the electronics go. Re badged and packaged China boards. The firmware in the bulk of them is identical and I would be willing to put good money that the chips and other components are the same.
