i used to use a Hyperion EOS060i and venom pro charger but they both charged too slow for me. Both are 50 watt chargers. i just moved up to the 150 watt venom pro charger ultimate to charge my 4S packs at 2C. Good deal too at under $60 shipped. It is DC only though so i had to get a good 20 amp OFNA power supply.

I use a HobbyKing ECO-8, and a Duratrax ICE chager.
Running them both off my 25A Server power supply

Hobby King was like $40 and I got the ICE charger used with balancer for 60.

Both work great.

DON'T get the hobbico accucycle elite. It won't charge over 2A or 5000mah, I got burned on that deal.

I just got the Hitec X4, it's a 4 port charger/balancer that goes up to 7A, but it's only DC. So at home I power it up with my automotive battery charger and she works just fine
