Need a good, new quality charger but my head is spinning
Guys,
I'm in the market for a good, high power lipo charger. I am looking for something in the 10.0A range that it at least a dual (as in chargers at least 2 packs at once) charger and I am lost. There are so many options.
Can somebody give me a good rundown of some good, new chargerd out there that may fit the bill? Proce isn't too much of a concern for the right charger...
Thanks guys.

Figure out what's important to you first. I bought a Hitec x4 when I started and was really unhappy with the discharge rate. Since you're asking about 6S, pay attention to the wattage as some chargers won't be able to put out the Amps that you're asking for. I just learned about this in the forums recently.
I use the TrakPower VR-1 now and I'm really happy with it. It's really a kickass one port charger with a bonus port average charger though. I don't think the second port would be good for charging 6S.

I also have a Powerlab 8. I felt a lot like this when I was at the track the other day:
My wife was like this when she found out how much I spent:
Kidding aside, both the Powerlab and the icharger will meet your needs RC Juice. But here's the kicker, you need to get a power supply that can put out the amps/volts/wattage. You don't have to spend as much as I did, but I can tell you that I don't worry about whether or not my chargers can charge a battery.
safety edit: Irregardless of whichever charger you end up getting, make sure you use a Lipo sack or a metal case to charge in. If you don't think it will happen to you, just search "lipo fire" on youtube.

Thank you for all the responses guys, these are definitely in the range of high power chargers I am looking for and you guys definitely turned me onto some more options I did not know about. I'm tired of messing around with so-so chargers and want a do-it-all big daddy taht will always do what I need it to do. I really like that Trakpower but I con't like that it's not 6S capable on both ports.

A couple more options, these guys will easily charge a couple 6S at 10 amps each. With advanced features and capability if interested.

I just got a Dynamite Passport Ultra Duo and really like it. 10 Amps per channel with a built in 500W power Supply. 5 amp discharge. I wanted an integrated unit.
If you have things like tire warmers or other DC accesories to run along with your charger then you might as well get a charger with a separate power supply.
Competition Electronics made some really healthy chargers capable of 20 amps per channel and 30 amp discharge but don't think they are made any more. They do still offer service for them however.

Here is a link to a charger Big Squid did a review on.
rramjet, it is the one you bought.
Did you have to a buy DC power cord?
