Default Need a new charge.... recommendations??

So, my cheep little dynamit charger fried. Not that big of a deal, it was cheep, old, and work for what I needed at the time. Now I am in the market for a new/used one. I am not using lipo... so I don't need anything fancy. Just looking for a good smart charger that will not fry my packs. Something with a discharger as well? Any recommendations?

Haha.. I was looking at a duratrash onyx 200 on line. Nothing special... but I kinda want something that discharges as well. Guess I will never grow up either.

You know that one of these days your gonna go lipo so just bite the bullet and buy a decent charger. You get what you pay for.
Oh yea the lipos are smaller, lighter, and depending on brand cheaper then NIMH.

Still running my Dynamite Prophet II, and that's backed up by my 20 year-old Liesure Charger... Did you get your Dynamite here in town? I got mine at HNS. If it's still under warranty, I bet they would take care of you.

Na, I've had this thing for YEARS... Bought it when I started on road racing when I lived in CA. Prophet II huh? Might have to look into that one as well.

I would go with the other Prophet model that HNS carries. They only reason I went with the II was becasue it's all they had in stock at the time. My brother has the heavier duty version and you can dial in the amperage with a digital readout. The one I got just has a switch setting for 1, 2, and 4 Amps. Fine for me, but I wish it had a 1.5Amp setting for my little Elite 1500 packs. They take forever at 1Amp. Better than burning them up I guess. It's a nice little charger, but defintely not as heavy duty as their other models.

I like my Hyperion 6061. Great charger and does everything I could want it to with lipos.
