|  Ice vs Hyperion chargers
At the end of the week, I will be buying me a new charger, as I been using superbrain 959 and would like to get something better. So I narrowed it down to either ice or hyperion eos7i But I can't make up my mind on which one. Hyperion seems like it little better.Any help would be most grateful.b

I use the Ice, does all you'll need. Ni-cad, Ni-MH, Li-po and I think even Li-ion. All for $109  Can't tell you much about the other one, never looked into it myself.

i have the hyperion and its an awesome charger. i got it mostly for its lipo capabilities, but it can also charge nimh up to 7A. basically it offered more options/capabilities in the future of batteries

The hyperion has a higher charge rate and higher cell count capability. I love mine.

The quality I see in the Hyperion brushless motors,which is awesome,I'd imagine the chargers are the same quality. Personally,I'd lean towards the Hyperion myself,I'd like to get one eventually. Right now I use a Triton and a Integy 16x4. I'd like to retire the 16x4 and try a Hyperion. Both work great,but my Integy 16x4 is showing it's age when I compare the charge results between the Triton and the Integy.

You can get the ICE at tower with $10 off purchases over $100 and you get a $10 tower gift certificate with the ICE purchase ($104). I've used my ICE for a while now and it works great. I've charged NIMH and Lipo's with it.

Dont forget about the Hyperion 5i. Retail around 80 (if I remember right) with 5 amps charge rate.

Don't forget about the LBA10 balancer option for the 5i and 7i. It's got a data cable that connects the two together so you can monitor individual cell voltages (Lipo). It's the safest and best wat to charge/care for your Lipo's! - Chris |
