I would recommend this charger HYPERION EOS720I NET 3 AC/DC BALANCE CHARGER 7S 16N STORE MODE (HP-EOS720IAD) - HeliDirect -- Best and Gforce lipo's from here Value Hobby R/C Hobby Store (Addison, Illinois): Welcome to ValueHobby. A very good combination for $200.

The price tag on those G-Force packs is VERY appealing! I'm going to pick up a couple of those myself.

I currently have a 3S PunchPack from "Charley Kilo Romeo Charley" that discharges its cells very evenly. The charger I use is a Racers Edge 1500 AC 1-3S 5Amp Lipo/Life-Po Balance Charger. It goes for around $50, but it seems to balance the cells nicely and I've had no trouble from it. I definitely want to upgrade to a Hyperion, though.

If you go for the Hyperion, the one in the link I posted is the absolute cheapest I've ever seen for that charger. It's usually $149 wherever you look. I would have bought it on the spot myself if I needed one. And the Gforce lipo's rock!! The cells stay evenly balanced throughout both charge and discharge cycles and have extremely low I.R.

x2 on the GForce. They're all I've used in my crawlers and racers for probably 4 years now.
