Default Looking for a new charger 2s 3s 4s 6s Dual or Quad

I am in the market for a new charger. I currently have two of the dual port Traxxas EZ Chargers. They are great for what they are. I can charge 4x batteries relatively fast at the same time. They charge up to 3s. I am now looking for something that can charge 4s 5200mah batteries and beyond. I would like it to charge 2 or more at the same time. It looks like i need to spend $200? I now have 3 kids using cars all at the same time so thats the reason I want to charge as many as I can.


I found these two so far...Thoughts?

I have the dynamite quad and I can vouch that it is great. The four port capacity is such great luxury and the quality is there. The LED screen and controls are very user friendly. Can charge up to four 6S batteries at 10amp rate each. Pricey but I figured it was a one time investment that would be worth it in the long run.

The need for a 4s charger is whats driving me to upgrade. What are you charging with it? What are your charge times like?

I am very happy with my iCharger 308duo.

(2) 4S Graphene 5000mah from storage only charging at 2C. Have the power to go much faster but i am good with 25min charge time.

I have that dynamite 4 channel 100w too. A coworker has one and talked me into it. Definitely a good charger, I like it. It has 2 fans and one is louder then a typical fan but not a big deal. Hitec sells a DC charge cable with xt60 to battery clamps for it (HRC44243).

i got an evpeak multicharger off amazon that handles 4 at a time. im in budget mode or else id have picked a more well known brand, but im happy af with the thing.

only nit is the fans wont shut off after the batteries are finished being charged or put into storage mode, but i can live with that as it serves to remind me.

Im charging MaxAmps 3S 6000mAh 11.1V, 100C batteries for my Yeti XL. At 10A, it's taking me about 30-35 minutes. Though these batteries give me about 40-50 minute run times.

I have a Hitec duo and a Kinexsis duo.

I prefer the Hitec for the "fast charge" and "resistance check" features. The Kinexsis charges at 10W/battery higher than the Hitec.

That said, both work well. I can recommend both.
