If you want to save some money, ebay has some PC power supplies that guys have converted to work with lipo chargers. They work awesome!!!

That is similar to what I got, but I think I got a better deal.

Why 25C??? They won't last long!!!

You do realize to charge those at 25c you would need a 165amp charger (that doesn't exist)

Than you need a 25amp charger and power supply. I wouldn't suggest charging a lipo over 2c.
