I use my 06i and 5i chargers the most, becuase they are so dang quick to use. With all the lipo I am collecting, it would be faster in the long run to use one of the 10i chargers with memory function. It is a bit of a pain to reset the lipo function every time I charge, but at max it is 30 seconds so I guess I shouldn't be complaining.

Does the 5i cycle regular nimh packs? I have a 7 now that does but would like the 5i as a travel charger because of its size.

I was noticed the chargers have different watts. 606i was 50 watts, 610i was 250 watts, and 1210 was 180 watts. Does the watts dictate how fast the battery will charge? Just wondering which charger to get.
Thanks for the help

The wattage is the total power the charger has. Volts x amps = watts. So a 10v battery can charge at 5 amps on the 0606i, 25 amps on the 610, and 18 amps on the 1210.

Castle link is in the motor controller section, and the battery leads for the 0606i is in the charger section now.
