I am using a Racers Edge Charger 2010. It charges up to 6S lipo and has a built in balancer inside of it. I paid $130 for it at hobbytownUSA.

iCharger 3010b and a 12v 42amp power supply - this is my high power setup I use for parallel charging. I'll be running a 24v supply as soon as I decide which way I want to go, either adding another one like I've got and run the two in series, or something like a Meanwell SE1000-24 supply.

I got the AC6 i took the sticker off and put a traxxas sticker on it, Its funny when people ask me where they can get that traxxas charger
I think as far as it goes for charging 2 cell lipos, 1-7 cell nimh, reciever packs and glow warmers you can't beat the price. plus it come with a whole lot of leads including deans, 2pin, 3pin, glow warmer, tamiya, balance board, and aligator clips... but it didn't come with traxxas or losi style leads/plugs. it will charge up to 6 cell lipo and 15nimh cells but it takes a really long time..
just went to hobby partz i guess it no longer comes with the deans plug any more.

Been scanning for a new charger recently. I came across a good deal on the forum here which included 2 ICE's mounted on a power supply.
Kinda curious about external balancing. Do the Asto blinky keep up with a 5A charge on a 2S? I cant quite tell yet, i picked one up at a LHS to try it out. Figured i would need something good to balance with using the ICEs
If i were to buy new, amain has their new Prodigy 610 DUO, and i might check that out after getting my tax return
