Default Multiple battery charger

I am looking for a charger that can charge multiple lipos at a time. A friend is getting her boys trucks(3) for xmas and is trying to figure out what charger to get.

Any recommendations?

Charger recommendation really depends on what kind of batteries you're going to be charging.

Not knowing anything about what you plan on charging, consider a dual charger or a quad type charger that'll charge either 2 or 4 batteries at once.

Just your basic lipo for bashing. 2s lipos, mid range mah, 20-30c.

There are no reasonably priced AC/DC powered multiple battery chargers. The Graupner I'm aware of is about $500. The Hyperion Duo3 is a true dual charger with 2 separate ports allowing it to charge 2 batts at once. The iMax Quattro is a 4 port type charger and will charge 4 batteries at once. There is quite a contrast in charger output power and cost between the two.

iMax Quattro type charger as sold by HobbyKing -

You'll need a separate power supply with either of these.


Since you're only charging 2S lipos, there is one other - it has some limitations, designed for 3000mah or smaller 2S only -
