Chargers?
#1
Can anyone recommend a good charger? It must be AC/DC. I am sick of lugging so much stuff to the track these days. I am looking for something small for Li-po's but good. I was looking for a MuchMore Hybrid but i cannot find them anywhere that has them. It also needs to be small.
Thanks for the help.

Most AC/DC chargers are limited to 50W.
This one is for $40 with free shipping:

^^^ That's a good charger with a good rep, there's a lot of them in use here.
If you need more output power (charging 4S and larger, or big 3S lipos of more than 4000mah) and don't want to spend the extra time a 50watt charger will take due to current limiting by the charger to stay under its 50watt limit, there are a few AC/DC choices with more power. The Thunderpower TP610 AC/DC has 80watts and a 10amp max charge rate, Dynamite Passport Ultra has ~90watts effective and 8amps max rate and the Triton2 EQ has 100watts an 8 amps max rate also. Hyperion has an AC/DC charger thats 90watts with 20amp max rate thats fairly new.

Its a 50watt charger and will have no probs charging 5amps on a 5000mah 2S lipo. You're paying a lot for that level of charger though (name). You can get the same 50watts, 5amps, 2S capability from a Thunder AC6 for $55. The Hyperion 0606i is a little less $$ and offers 6amps, but the ame 50watts if you're more comfortable with a name brand charger.

Thanks Duster. I like the fact that its small, vertical and actually the styling. Yeah you pay for the name but I like Muchmore products but I will look into that thunder ac charger too.
