You can get a Dynamite charger for around $30-$40. Works great!

Chargers.....you get what you pay for.

This is the way it was explained to me.

Cheap charger and the best batteries.....you'll only get half or less of what the batteries could give.

Top of the line charger and cheap batteries.....you'll get 110% out of your batteries and they'll live longer as well.

Cheap batteries charged on a good charger will,9 times out of 10,work alot better than good batteries charged with a cheap charger. I've seen it with my own eyes several times.

IMHO,anything with the word Dynamite in the name of it......needs to be strapped to a stick of dynamite. I don't think my old Dynamite charger EVER gave a true full charge,they should change the name to Dynamite False peak

I run a Integy 16x4 and it works good. I also run a Triton,I like it better than the Integy. Holmes Hobbies has the Hyperion chargers. If the quality in the chargers is anything like their outrunners.....they are top notch. I'm hoping to get one this spring.

DTX Piranha is the way to go if you are looking for an inexpensive charger.

I totally agree. Been using an integy V6 for years and my batts are always good to go.

I Agree With The Pirana Charger If You Have Cheap Batteries.

leorosa · 12-29-2006, 06:17 PM

I have GP 3300 NIMH.

JohnRobHolmes · 12-29-2006, 06:34 PM

What is your budget, and do you only want to charge 6 cell packs?

leorosa · 12-29-2006, 09:13 PM

Yes only six cell packs. Im looking for a charger can do the job.

slobin3d · 12-29-2006, 09:18 PM

i dig the triton charger and now they have the triton JR that is much cheaper than its older cousin

Chris_The_Battery_Man · 12-29-2006, 11:55 PM

The MRC Super Bain 959 is a good affordable charger for your needs too.

minijosh · 12-30-2006, 05:54 AM

Will you be traveling with your batts or just playing at home? The MRC's are very good because the 969's and up are dual voltage and read 50/60 hrtz.

I've used a 969 for a while and I switched over to a Tekin 112C. The tekin charges at higher rates than the mrc and it's a lot smaller. Only bad thing is that it's DC only. My 969 can do nicads, nimh's, 12 volt batts, yeah i did my Mini battery one time, and Lipo's and li-ions. I got mine upgraded to a 977 status. I hope this helps.

redrum_racer · 12-30-2006, 10:24 AM

the 959 is a great charger, served me well.

Overhere the lhs they want too much for a charger.Thanks guys for the advise.

davidcrawls · 12-31-2006, 05:33 PM

DONT GET A DYNAMITE. ive had 3 that i raced with at a local track and they were JUNK every one of them false peaked with brand new batteries or very little used batteries. i bought a tekin and its the best charger ive ever had and its about 20 years old and still works as good as it ever had. ive also heard really well about integy chargers from ppl at the track. but most of us run tekin which there is 30-40 ppl every saturday that race and just about everyone has a tekin and has never had a problem with them. well hope this helps some.
