    Which charger should I get?

    I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but there may be new chargers out that would be recomended

    Hi, I'm in the market for a new charger to replace my Dynamite Vision Peak Ultra, its been a good charger, but is sort of bulky and only charges lipos at a max of 2.5 amps, so my 4000mah packs take forever to charge.

    I want a compact charger that is AC/DC

    Here is what I was thinking about
    Hyperion EOS0606i


    Dynamite Passport Premium


    Eflite DC (ac when you buy adapter)




    I am sort of leaning toward the Hyperion from the things I read about them, but my dynamite has been a great charger for me and the passport premium has a higher max lipo charge rate and one of my 4000 packs can be charged at 2c. I really like the size of the eflite, easy to put in my radio bag or something.

    What do you guys think? I am open to suggestions to others. I am not interested in cheapo chargers from hobby king or anything like that.

    Thanks guys for all the help!

      I am a fan of the Hyperion EOS0615i DUO3. Two chargers in one box with built in balancers. 15 amp max rate (180 watts per side max).

      I have two of the original DUO1 and they are still going strong. Good product and they do regular firmware updates that you can update using the Internet.
      Don't get me started

          Hyperion all the way, I have 2 of the AC/DC 606i chargers, got one new and one used, so it came out less than the Duo charger. I really like the AC/DC chargers , so that when you are at the lake you can re-charge.

            Hyperion. Best money I've spent.

              I use an i-charger 106B+ for up to 6s, very accurate for balance charging and storage charging/discharging along with many more features. They make a 108 for 8s and a 1010B+ for 10s. The 8s has a built in memory to save your charge info and then transfer it to your pc if you want. Very good support and updates and the price is right. I think Neu sells the same under their own name.

                  Andy, I was looking at that one, it looks very nice, my current dynamite charger works great! Just slow charging larger lipos because of its max current charge of 2.5 amps.

                    With the new one, the 8A will charge pretty much anything QUICK!
