reccomend a good charger..
Hi, my charger seems to be broken and only puts 800maH or so into a pack before it stops and says the battery is fully charged. It does say that the pack has 9V so maybe its my esc and the batteries are really charged..I will try another esc when i get a chance..
Even if its the esc, i want to get a good charger to maintain my batteries, i want to spend as little as i can below about $200..
I was looking at the duratrax ice, is this a decent charger or are there better ones out there that are cheap and in my budget.
thanks...

If it is a stick pack, then probably a cell or two are stuffed, those cells will be a lot hotter than the others when you charge.
Can you adjust your charger to charge the pack at a lower rate? Try charging them at a lower rate (say 1 Amp), that way you are less likely to get a false peak, and it will be easier on the pack.
As with any NiMH pack is it important to discharge the pack down to 0.9V on each cell before charging them up again. You can't do this with a stick pack that is why "side-by-side" configuration packs are better in the long term.
The ICE charger is good. I charge both NiMH and LiPo packs with it.
