i am looking for a new charger. looking for something to charge more than one lipo but not one of the 4 at once chargers. i am going to get this [url=http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=17414]HobbyKing Online R/C Hobby Store : HobbyKing 600W / 17V Power Supply (USA Warehouse)[/url]
and i am looking for a good cheap charger, so this power supply can handle most everything... let me know whats out there
Good and cheap in this case are mutually exclusive. If you want good, get the Hyperion...if you want cheap...who knows...Quote:

the problem with most dual charger is they are 10 amps thats split between the 2 batteries giving you 5 amps per pack
ok that make sense but the charger i have now only charges 6 amps. and so charging two with 5amps is better than 1 6 amps.Quote:

i am looking for a charger that has more than 5 amps per port some where around 10+ maybe 7+
that venom dual is only 10amps. if you go with 2 of the $49 they both could charge at 10 amps each.
which is important now that there are lipos that can be charge up to 5C
i have a venom lipo that can be charged at 5c or 25amps but my charger only does 10amps. so thats 2c charges in 45 mins
at 5c it would charge in like 20 min
Yea I saw this question and its not something I'm super familiar with so as the researcher I am I checked it out. the Hyperion, like Jeremy said is definitely your best bet but I know you don't want to pay that much for it. I don't know how much you are wiling to pay but this [URL="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Team+Orion+Twin+Spec&hl=en&client=firefo x-a&hs=bXx&pwst=1&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&biw=1229&bih=527&bav=on.2,or .r_gc.r_pw.&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=17306588786949192456&sa=X&ei=oWGfTfKXFqy00QG M-ISJBQ&ved=0CE8Q8gIwAA#"]Team Orion dual charger [/URL]is recommended but still up around $200 in price. Or the [URL="http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/rc-charger-liponimhnicd-imax-b6duo-p-32045.html"]IMAX B6 Duo[/URL] is a little less at $109. Or I've heard good things about FMA products like the [URL="http://www.progressiverc.com/index.php/fma-cellpro-10s.html"]Cellpro 10S charger[/URL]. That one is around $139. I really think if you want a good quality dual lipo charger like this it is not wise to go with something cheap. That is what I got from looking around and from people I know. Hope that helps a bit.
hey man thanks this was really helpful... the orion is out of the picture but the imax duo looks like a new charger venoms coming out with so i might get teh imax and then the cell pro looks great to... so i really really appreciate the info. and thanks for researching thisQuote:
