After getting it back I haven't had any issues. Sucks that I had to do that with a almost $200 charger, but nonetheless they fixed it so thumbs up for their customer service.
So, I obviously own the Hitec X2-400 dual charger. Love it. Bought a inexpensive Turnigy Reactor 250 to use while the Hitec was in for repair. Actually really like the Turnigy. Very small, decent power, and charges almost any battery type. I typically pack the Turnigy when heading to the track unless I anticipate needing to charge multiple packs at once. Not in any way knocking the iChargers, I'm just not smart enough to use one, lol, and have no need for any "advanced" features. Just charging 2s or 3s lipos for my crawlers anymore. I do still have a couple Duratrax Ice chargers that stay on my worktable at home and still charge just fine, with an external balancer of course.

I have the Charsoon version of that Turnigy charger (Antimatter 250) and it's great! For discharging I just use the 150W ones that use a few lightbulbs as a load. You can get them for around $10 if you search for "150W lipo discharger" or "Aokoda lipo discharger."

Anyone found a pelican type case for the mega chargers like the Protek or Skyrc?
