Hyperion chargers are the only way to go in my own opinion.

I have the 720i net 3 AC/DC charger and it rocks!

I vote TP610AC/DC compact and perfect for 2s application. AC max 8.5 amps
DC max 9-9.5 amps. 10 amps is unachievable with the charger on DC. But still a awesome charger.

This is a nice one and has a back light so you can easily see it in the dark, free shipping:

This also has a power supply built in. While you are there check out GenAce batts.

Onyx 230/235. Both will do lipos/nimh,nicd/life etc. Both have ac/dc compatibility. Both are fairly compact. Both are under $100, at least at my LHS. The 235 is a balance charger, the 230 you would need an inline balancer. I have used a 230 with balance charger for over 2 years now, it works great and I have had 0 problems. Highly recommend them.

I have a trinity I balance and it works awesome, the price on those is pretty high but there's a cheaper knockoff which I also have and its identical. The price on the knockoff was around 50 shipped. If I remember correctly I got it from hobbyking and it called a ac6

Thunder ac6. AC/DC charger that does all battery types and balance charges lipos. Only charges at a 5a rate up to 2s lipos, but you could probably pick up a pair of them within your price range.
