Default lipo charger

Ok so I got out of rc racing for a while and now that I am getting back in I am overwhelmed by the different chargers. I am looking for a good charger that is $100 dollars or less. I am going to be using a protek saddle pack 55MAH 100c 2s. Please help any suggestions? Plus what should I charge them at 11A? I have a 23AMP competion electronics power supply also

If you think you'll have more lipos in the future and are going to be pretty dedicated I'd spend more then 100$ on a charger, I'm not sure the charge rate of protek lipos but I charge all my lipos 2c so yes 11amps is fine

most of the chargers only show to charge from 8 to 10 amps though and I think I need to charge at 11 amps. I am new to this lipo stuff though I used to use nimh cells and raced nitro

You dont NEED to charge at 11A. Itll just cut your charge time down.

Have a nice LRP Pulsar 3 charger that does 1-3 cell Lipos and NiMh. Charges up to 10 amp. 4 storage modes. Very reliable charger. $75 shipped.
