    What charger would you buy? or have?

    I am in the market for a good DUEL charge (or higher) lipo charger, AC/DC up to 6s

    Who makes a good one? I was thinking about the Hitec x4 ac/dc, any thoughts? is it good or crap or any other chargers I should look at?

    Thanks.

      I have a Hyperion and the screen goes all wierd and it only works "some of the time" So I know its supposed to be a good charger but I think some other company will get my money this time.

        you should contact the distributor. i had one that was out of warranty that went dead and they sold me a new one at their cost. The key word here is Good personally most of the Hobbyking have much higher failure rates and a lot are not very accurate. i think you are really looking for Cheap not good

            I use these. This is perfect for charging 1 battery at a time. Its AC or DC http://www.xheli.com/73p-ac680-accharger.html It has every type of connector and comes with heat sensors to attach to the batteries so the charger can monitor temps and of course you can see everything on on your computer using USB. This one I use for my Spartan race boat that uses two 8.400 mah 11.1v lipos at once. http://www.xheli.com/75p-t6-multi-charger.html I charge all 4 of the huge lipos I run at once, or 4 of any type of battery at once. This big boy is pure DC. and needs this to run on a/c current.
            http://www.xheli.com/77p-g350-powersupply.html This is a serious power supply and all of this stuff has multiple cooling fans. Of course the T-6 runs off your car battery too.

              i think $200-75 should buy me something decent right, I mean I'm not a racer so I don't want to blow $400 on some charger.

                  I did take a look at that one, but I really want a Double or higher, I kind of like the 'set-up' Warlock is talking about. its not A/C but you cant win em all.

                      I am reading some threads and a lot of people are like'n the Venom 2-10 w/the G-350 power supply, they said faster charge times, venom any good? in your opinion.

                              I did, they told me to contact where I bought it from, but its a single charging and its slow as hell, so I want a new one anyway.
