Default Charger recomendation

Hi,

I have a nitro rc car, and my charger has died (I use it justo for transmitter batteries and glow starter batteries). I Will probably switch to an electric car, so I want you to recomend a charger I can use in that case ( i think they are 2S and 3S LiPo batteries).

Thank you in advance.

Did you try to find something by your self. Plenty of topics here about a charger advise and plenty of online shops and brands to browse through.
One thing to take care about, if you take a so called AC/DC charger then with most chargers the internal PSU does not provide full power the charger can handle

Thank you. That's the thing, there are so many options that si too dificult to choose and I dont know if there is something I should tale care about.

What you said about the internal PSU, it's importante for 2s or 3s LIPOS? I found the ProTek RC Prodigy 610ez but Idont know if Im missing something.

The protek can charge with 100 watt power (just download the manual if it is also on its internal PSU)
It can always charge the maximum cells as listed in the specs. But power = voltage x current

If you have a 6S Lipo (25.2v) then with 100 wat max power the current will be limited to 100w / 25v = 4A and so you will never get to the 10A. With 2S you will get the 10A max and wit 3S you are limited to about 8A
