Charger/ cell Ideas?

[ralphee]

Hey guys

OK ive been out for a long time and so much has moved on.
I need a good charger, but dont want to break the bank too much!
Looking at spending around the £70 mark on something that may charge, discharge and maybe balance?
Id seen a 601BC unit on ebay and wondered if this would be any good?
Its a lot different to the Millenium i used to have though.
If not, can anyone point me in the right direction, id like something AC/DC if poss.
Also, cells, what a safe bet to buy for racing nowadays, ive read the poss rule changes but i could do with a few packs to get me rolling, so 3700's maybe?

Just to clear up, the chargers ive looked at are by Imax, just wondered if anybody uses them, or if there cheap junk lol.

So, nobody looking at this post uses a charger or can recommend one in my budget?

I've been using the Pro-Peak Sigma AC/DC charger for about 7 months now.
It's not one of those large yellow faced jobbies, it's a slime line Blue / fake carbon fibre case with a digital readout, will charge and discharge Ni-Mh, NiCad, Lead Acid and Lipo batteries.
I believe it has a balancing connection for Lipos although the required cable is not included.

There's very little you can edit for the charge / discharge profiles but if you're not intending to look after any of the newer Hi-Spec cells then it's worked fine for me with older GP33000s and GP3700's so far.

I think it was about £75 new.

No doubt others will have other opinions but it's a start....

I got a Pulsar 3 (new) on Ebay for about £75. From RC Mart (Dinbal) I think it was.
