Default The ultimate battery charger?

Hi all, I have been searching for quite some time for the ultimate, affordable LiPO charger setup. I ended up buying this Quad 4x100W charger and making a fireproof metal cabinet for it. I have been using for about half a year by now and is very satisfied, the charger is easy to use and is very fast. It can charge 4 2S batteries with 10A each, 3S batteries around 9A each. It can charge up to 6S, but I have only tested with 2S and 3S. You can find better chargers, but I challenge you to find any matching this one that costs $100 plus DC supply (an old cheap PC PSU will do). Just to be clear, I have bought this charger for my own money and I am no way sponsored (I wish I were ), so this is my honest review. I made this video if you are interested, if you like it I would be glad if you gave it a thumbs up or even subscribed

Yeah I’m pretty sure you’re not taking that cabinet to the track with you. I don’t even know what that’s all about.

Yeah, "ultimate" is not the word I would have chosen either. Sounds like the OP is arguing more in the line of "best value" (for a certain user profile).
Also, I think not too many people have a need for a quad charger. I certainly don't. (Yes, when you have several people racing in let's say in a family, possibly even more than one class each, such a charger can be come handy, of course.)

No, I have an iCharger X6 for track. Very small but still 40A, but does require DC powersupply. I either use the 12V i a 1:1 car or a laptop powersupply

Yes, you are right. With Ultimate I more meant when looking at the price, I don't think anything can beat it to the price, even if you include the cost of a DC power supply. Thanks for your very construcive feedback and not just throwing bullsh..t - kudos for that . I sometimes use both my quad charger and multiple single chargers simultaneously. My son and I often go bashing for a day, and then we need maybe 10 batteries charges, and since I always keeps my batteries at storage it is very nice that I can charge 10 5000mah 2S/3S batteries in about 2 hours just with this quad.
