Default Charger help please

Hi Guys, I'm after a charger due to changing to a LiFe pack in my car.

This is the pack I'll be using

https://www.fg-onlineshop.de/ItemDet...=0&webi=0&pr=0

I've seen this charger and lots of people use them

http://www.freeprawnracing.co.uk/pow...-et0210-x.html

I like it but it does more than I want and it's pricey (this is the cheapest place I've seen them)

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a 12/240v charger that will tell me what I need to know and charge/balance my packs.

Thanks in advance

Mike

No, I've had the same old Nimh charger for years and years and years - time to move on I think.

Thoroughly recommend the Core UAC50 charger. Small, light, reliable and very nicely priced. Mine regularly gets 4.197v (1S) charged giving max charge and not failing the LiPo voltage check.

It does LiPo, LiFe, NiMh, NiCad and Pb. Great bit of kit. HTH

I have the one you linked to in your first post.
It's innards are exactly the same as 99% of the "4 button" chargers out there that you can pick up for £20 (only there are 4 of them in there)

The overlander one on Modelsport is good for the money, and its 90 watt, take in mine you might not need 90 watts, but its better than 50 watts for in the future.
