Default What do you guys use to charge your Lipos?

I have been using this one for a while, but after doing this review, I think I may need to branch out a bit and step up to a big boy charger.

What do you guys think and what do you guys use?

I have a Celectra 200W DC Multi Chemistry charger. They show it and two others in a back drop pic when you click on chargers on the Eflite site. Funny thing is, they don't have it listed anymore as a item for sale. It's a easy charger to use and has been flawless so far. I was trying to get the ac/dc version which is the charger on the right in the back drop pic but at the time, the lhs looked it up and couldn't get one.

Then I have like 10 of the 1s chargers. Some are the 4 AA battery type and a few of the usb type. Then like 4 of the 2s. Then I got a 3s cig lighter charger that came with the Sport Cub. (That plane flies great by the way)

Thanks for sharing Greg! Did you need to get a new power supply or is that an all in one charger?

The Celectra 200W is a DC only charger. I have a Rivergate power supply from 15 years ago that I use at home. Then of course I can clip it right to the battery in the truck if I'm in the field. I crashed the Radian yesterday and broke a prop. I hate having to wait for parts.

I use the AC/DC Hitec 4 output charger at home and in the field. I caught it on sale at my LHS and it was worth every penny.

Now i use 2 pack of 2S 7.4V = 4S 14.8V
i found that Nosram Stealth Touch is very good for support my 4S balance charge/discharge and balance cell voltage.
