Please point me in the direction of an inexpensive Lipo battery charger/balancer. I’m new to Lipo, and there are so many out there. I really want a simple one, with few settings. I’m just wanting something to charge and balance. Some of the more advance units have features I won’t use (think Homer Simpson of electronics). Trying to order batteries and charger today, so any input would be appreciated.<o></o>

This one will do good for you:

Thunder AC680 Professional Dual-Power LiPo Balance Charger/Discharger w/ AC Adapter for 1-6 Lipo/ 1-15 Nimh + USB to PC Software

I have it and I know lots of others do as well, great charger for the price. Pick yourself up some cheap lipo's from them too while your at it, just remember to get a lipo bag for storage/charging.

Here's one of the cheapest Lipo AC chargers: Traxxas LiPo 2/3 Cell Balance AC Charger [TRA2935] | Electric Accessories - A Main Hobbies

For a few bucks more: Dynamite Prophet Sport AC LiPo Charger (25W/2A/3S) [DYN4101] | Electric Accessories - A Main Hobbies

Now if you want to spend more you can but these are basic chargers that will do the job for you. Remember that these are very low powered chargers but will work for the small packs we use in crawling. (1300mah or less).

Thunder ac6 is a great charger and very easy to use. Hobby partz has a video on how to use it.
