    If you are looking to charge LI-PO and NI-MH buy Hyperion. For LI-PO only TP or FMA Cellpro. I have 2 Cellpro 4S chargers and they are superb. The new 10S is what I would buy today.

      the hyperion eos1210i will charge up to 12s.
      I have used the cellpro and hyperion charger they are both good quality chargers. I would pick and choose either one!
      I have the 1210i and love it.

        So basically if I want to charger both nimh and lipo batteries the Hyperion EOS 1210i is the way to go. And if i want to charger two lipo packs need two balancer then correct. How about if I just buy two Hyperion EOS 5I DP would that be the same thing It comes out cheeper. Can I put to chargers in one 18amp power supply .

          Ryan, Yes you can use both chargers on one power supply, as long as the PS will support your current drain. a 18 amps power supply is pretty good size. That will support two EOS 5i's no problem! Those chargers do 5 amps max/each.

          For what you are doing, and it sounds like you wanna save a few bucks too, the two 5i chargers, with two LBA10 balancers will work well IMO.

          I ordered two of those 5i's, and one of the 1210i's so I can charge anything i'll ever have of any size, at up to 10 amps, and up to four packs at the same time. I don't really think I will ever need to charge anything above 6s, I don't think you will either. But I like the charger, so I got it.

                For me, this is the perfect charger. Trouble is it is not yet available here in the US and none of my usual sources can even give me a clue when they might have it.

                However, I can tell you exactly when it will be available, the day AFTER I buy something else.!!
                Don't get me started

                    not discharge the battery pack . that make me not want to wait for it.
