Default need help on lipo batts and charger

hey guys. im new to the lipo scene so im asking for a little help. ive been trying to do some research on what are the best chargers and batts and i think i understand a little bit but im not completely sure.

i just purchased my sc10 brushless rtr truck and im looking to run a 2c lip pack on it. something like the venom 7.4v 2c 5000mah

and as far as a charger goes im kinda lost. im not looking to spend an outrageous amount but i want a something thats gonna get the job done and is fairly easy to use. also if it charges Nimh packs too that would be good cuz my dad still runs his stampede around.

any help would be appreciated..

thanks

Here's some reading that'll help understand about lipos -

As far as a lipo charger, here's a AC/DC 50watt, 5amp max charge rate charge with a builtin balancer and ability to peak charge NiMh -

The site has a Utube clip on how to use it and it has a manual. Will handle 2S lipos up to 5000mah with no probs.

All the chargers I'm familar with use 4mm for banana plug connections. These appear to be the same.
