recommend me a charger please!
 
Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice about chargers, Im currently using a core RC (UDC 20?) for charging LiPo's, but, as I'm now racing several cars at one meeting I need to be able to charge two, or maybe three packs at once. I could just buy another charger like the core RC one, or invest a bit more in one unit that will charge two or more packs, but after looking around Im not sure which are any good! I only need it to run off 12V, and I don't want to spending hundreds.

Any suggestions please?


Thanks in advance,
Ste

I've been using an LRP Quadra, been very impressed with it. LRP have just bought a second edition out with lipo balancing as well. Going to get one so I can run Lifepo in my 1/8th car.

How about this charger that does 4 at once, and balances too!

Looks like a bargain to me. I faff around with two different chargers, but this would be way cooler.

i just got myself a "fusion elysium" as a reccomandation from a few models shops....i was going to buy a bantam bc6 which was going to cost me £120 but after hearing all the good reviews on the fusion i decided to get one and at £70 with built in balancer/power supply and with a 6amp charge rate it was well worth it plus i saved myself £50.ive been using it with great results charging my nosram 5900 50c lipos that i use!

that looks extremely similar to the etronix powerpal 4 that Ive already looked at :

Guessing there probably going to be the same animal with a different name?

I think something like this is going to be what I want to go for, but which one? has anyone had any experiences with either of these two chargers?

Yeah, they look the same thing really.

I think either would be good enough - these '4 button' chargers are much copied now, so this is just 4 of them in one box really.

Oh, I remember who's got one now, Lee Malyon, get in touch with him and ask him.
