There's athread for this, but I would get an iCharger. I have a 306b and it's great! I charge at 3C don't have the need for simultanious charging but getting a balance board will acomplish that.

Icharger is among the few brands that for example Thunder Power recommends.

Oh, yeah you need at least a 24amp powersupply. The one icharger makes is also recommended.

Don't rule out AC/DC chargers. There are several multi-channel chargers out there and it's nice having it all in one box. Consider if you'll ever run 3s or 4s. You'll want more watts total output for that.

Best value power supplies imo short of making your own are the Maxamps 12v and 24v, outstanding value. Fans are a little loud but they are nice.

Best chargers out there period are hyperion, there are no better. They cost more but are worth every penny. The newest duo has retard power but consider your packs, you can get a lower duo model if you don't need to charge 7s at over 1000watts or 7s x2 up to 20amps per side :)

I recommend the Cellpro Powerlab 6 or Powerlab 8. You'll be hard pressed to find a better charger
