Default Lipo charger

I am looking for a good lipo charger and need help. I am looking for one that can charge lipo and nimh I don't care if it runs on just dc but would prefer one that can run on both ac and dc. I only have 2s and 3s batteries and that is all I have plans on having so that is all it has to be able to charge and balance. I would also like one that has cell restore just kinda sounds like a nice thing to have just incase it is ever needed. It also needs to fit into a budget so these chargers that are way over priced are out of my price range. Please let me know what you think is the best for what I am looking for and if you have one you want to get rid of let me know. Thanks

This is the charger/balancer I have and it works great:

No need to spend $100+ on a charger when a $55 charger will work flawlessly.

Thanks how do the hyperion eoso6o6i and the thunder ac6 compare to each other is one that much better than the other or is one just that much more expensive? I have been looking at both of them and from what I have read they seem to do about the same thing for a big price difference.

The hyperion looks prettier and has the hyperion name on it? I love thier batteries, but what more can you ask from a charger/balancer than good charging/discharging and accurate balancing.

Here's a video that shows the operation of the Thunder AC6:

We car one that is pretty much a Hyperion clone, and is only $65. ACDC, and all the chemistries. They're out of stock until Monday, but with the price, and free shipping, it's hard to beat.

I just found a good used Hyperion HP-EOS0606i only about a month old and got it for $65 shipped. I didn't figure I could pass it up.
