difference between the 606 and the 610i is just the wattage of current it can supply and the 606 is acdc while the 610 is only dc and the 610i furthermore i have no rgeret getting this charger charges almost all the batts out there on the market even a123 you dont know what your next power source

I see that there are 2 types of 0606i's. One is app. $150 an the other is app $109. Are they both AC/DC and what is the difference between them?

I use the astroflight 109 charger and a seperate hyperion LBA10+ balancer with great success, however the Hyperion line of chargers with built in balancers are quite nice too.

Only one is AC/DC. The DC model charges a123 cells and has a dataport for PC software.

These guys are Hyperions dealers and they show two diff 0606 chargers. Its confusing, I had to look twice, but the chargers don't look that much alike. teh AC/DC has a bigger footprint and the DC looks more like a field type charger.

I have both the Pulsar 3 and the Checkpoint 1030. Either one is good, but I prefer the Pulsar 3 because of it's easy menus.

I've been using the MRC Super Brain 989 all season long to charge 2 Orion 3600 LiPos, 2 SMC 5000 LiPos and a TrakPower 4800 saddle pack LiPo and I haven't had a single issue with the charger. I race 4 classes just about every weekend and practice 2-3 times a week by the way, so the charger has gotten tons of use.

For the $140-$150 it costs, you also get a decent AC-DC power supply that has also been trouble-free for me this whole season. I'll be racing 5-6 classes next season, so I plan on adding the Hyperion 610i Duo to my arsenal, but the SB 989 will still see plenty of use.

Best of luck in your search for a charger.

The difference in the Hyperion chargers is the maximum wattage. The AC/DC model maxes out at 50W. This should be fine for smaller capacity packs or if you only use 2S packs. The EOS 0606i Net has a 250W max and the Duo is 180W + 180W (two channels so you can charge two packs at once up to 6S or you can link the channnels to charge a single 12S pack). If you are looking to charge large capacity high cell count packs (such as a 4S or 5S 4000mah + packs) then the 50W will not cut it (unless you don't mind waiting a few hours to charge your packs...LOL ).

Personally I had the 0606i Net but sold it to get the 0606i Duo charger. They both ROCK!

Not fo 100% lipo and 100% brushless.

For the last couple years the only Nicd cells I own are for glow igniters. All my batteries are lipo. These include TX, RX, starter box, two Maxamps for 1/10 racing. I've only used the ICE chargers and they are working just fine. In the future I'm sure I'll have a 1/8 electric vehicle and then I'll need to step up to a larger capacity charger for a 4s or 5s battery. Until then the ICE's will work their magic. So there's no reason they won't work with 100% LiPo and 100% brushless---unless the O.P. is considering 1/8 or MT vehicles.

How many watts does the Ice have? What's the best for 100% lipo and brushless?
