What battery charger u got and why?

[Xpress]

I have an iCharger 308 DUO with a 24 volt 69 amp power supply. I can charge 2 6s 5000 packs at 10 amps each at the same time (2 channel charger) and still have ample room to charge more. I am barely using the chargers 1300 watt rating in using 240 amps per channel .

I have a 50cc electric that I need to charge packs quickly and efficiently with so this gets the job done very effectively.

As far as charging smaller batteries for parkflyers go, this charger really is way overkill for that type of application. You would be better suited to one of the many 100-200 watt chargers out there that are a bit easier to transport, as this charger occupies a bit of real estate in the toolbox.

308 duo on 24 for bib batteries and multiples hitec x4 for small lipos and a123 in planes run x4 in my trailer on inverter. 308 will charge 6 6s at 10 amps each at a time run it off 2 trolling batteries in series. never get a charger for what you have now. A few dollars more for what u may later is the cheapest way to buy

Hitec X4 AC is what I use. I wanted one with built in AC power and I can do 4 batteries at a time. I have Li-ion in my gassers and small 3S for my foamies. Works perfectly for my needs.

This is what I have as well. It works great for my foamy batteries, and 2S giant scale flight packs, which is mostly all I charge anymore. I love being able to charge 4 batteries at a time. Once in a blue moon I'll charge a bigger multi-cell pack for my brothers big E-Cub, and that takes a while. I really do need a back-up charger though. Might buy another of these, or could go a different direction if it charged multiple batteries at once and doesn't cost $1000.00.

I have a Duralite charger at home I use on my Duralite A123 receiver and Li-Ion ignition packs. I have a HiTec X1 for charging small things and a Power Lab 8 with two 12 volt server power supplies for 24 volts I use at the field for my 6S heli batteries . Our club has power at every workbench which makes life easy.

I charger 306b and 3010b coupled with a 24 v 75 amp power supply. I use parallel boards for my 5 and 6s packs. I can charge up to 30 amps off of each charger if I want.

I have the Hyperion Eos 720i super duo3, it's been a great charger,(still is) but if I needed a new charger I think I'd go with Hitec 4, they are on sale most places for $129.99 Fella I fly with has one, and it does everything my hyperion does, for less than half the price.
