need charger help!!

[rccrawler66]

I am looking for a new lipo charger and I'm not sure how to pick one. I have a small e-flight one that takes 2-3 hours to charge one 1300 lipo. So I want something faster. Also I don't want it to complicated, I prefer to have the kind of charger that I can just plug the battery into the ports and the charger does the rest (balance and charge). I will be charging some 2s and 3s 1300 . Not really wanting to break the bank either... Under 100 bucks would cool. Any ideas????

Just recieved this charger and it works flawlessly. Charged my 2200mah 3s lipo in under 30 minutes. Check it out.

A little over $100, but worth it in my opinion!"thumbsup"

hyperion 606i is more than your budget, there is one in for sale forum for $75.

I charge my 1300mah 3s in no time. Its ac/dc and comes with couple different balancers. Even the cheaper hyperions are very good, I think they charge up to 3s. The 606i charges up to 6s and does up to 14 cell nimh/nicd

Anyone else have any input?? Thank u to the response.

Another vote for the Hyperion eos0606i. It charges my 800mahs in about 20 minutes and it's very easy to set up to chage your lipos. Hook up your charge and balance leads, set it and forget it! Not really, you should always supervise your charge.

The thunder ac6 from above is a pretty popular choice and I know it works for me.

much thanks

The Venom chargers are the same style as all the other 'imported' chargers, but for twice the cost.

This is the charger I bought on a whim. I wasn't sure a charger that sells for less than half the cost of a name brand LiPo charger would be sufficient. Well, it is. I like how the balancing plugs are built in. Works great and is easy to use.

This is the charger I got yesterday. I will never look back. I absolutely love it! can charge any pack no matter the mixes all at the same time. Charged my LiPo 2200 3S in ~45 minutes.

i need something simple...they all look a little hi-tech for me...maybe im looking to deep into it tho

 

[ballaholyk84]

Honestly if you go with a cheap charger then youll get slow times. The charger i recommended above also balances the lipos. Extremely easy to use. Also keep in mind that most lipo chargers are also gonna require a power source of you wanna plug it into an outlet.
