    Charger remorse

    I just bought a Dynamite Vision peak ultra ac/dc charger, its great that it can charge up to 8amps, but it don't have a way to lower the cutoff voltage for storing lipos, I have a feeling I should have gotten a hyperion. Anyone want to recomend me a great ac/dc charger in this price range of $150 and below? Thanks. (anyone want to buy a charger lol?)

    Hyperion 0606i...should be in the $110 range. It's only a 50w charger though. I believe there is a new 720 AC/dc though, but probably more than your budget.

          i know its gunna be a B-S fest but here goes...
          ac/dc venom pro charger comes with all of the adapters and balance block
          to charge lead acid to lipo
          for about $100.00 shipped..charges up to 6s
          went to hobbyking and picked up a duel batt adapter with
          balance plug to do 2 - 3s at the same time at 1 amp about 1hr....super easy to use...
          let the B-S begin........

            I agree My Turnigy charger with an adapter I made will charge four 2S 5000 packs at once in about an hour and it was less than $100 shipped

                  If your charging big batteries get a Hyperion. If you want the best bang for the buck you CAN NOT beat the ac-6. Cheap and loaded with features!
                  If all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed!

                      I was reluctant to get a hyperion when I switched to lipo. But my hyperion charger was well worth the money. Sometimes you do get what you pay for!

                        The hyperion chargers are indeed first rate although they are a bit more expensive. PM us for special pricing for OSE members.

                          I have begun to realize you really do get what you pay for in this hobby. Sometimes the cheap chinese stuff works great, but it doesn't seem to take as good of a beating as the more expensive chinese stuff(lol).

                          I have a few of the Hyperion 606's and once the funds replenish I've got my eye on a 615 duo.

                          I wouldn't mind picking up a couple of those cheapy chargers for my cheap batteries though, but I'm sticking with a good charger for my good batteries. To me charging a good battery with one of those cheap chargers seems like putting low grade unleaded in your Ferrari...

                          I do have one thing to say, it seems like all of the stories you hear about people burning their houses down while charging lipos are with questionable chargers and the "cheap" chargers that let you charge questionable batteries... My 606 won't let me charge questionable batteries even when I tried...lol
