If you have a power supply already, this is a smaller charger and will balance charge 2S lipos up to 5amps.

Really you need to say what batts you plan on charging....

Most likely on 2S Lipo 50c and above

Isit better to choose a higher A for charge current?

Stay away from thunder power, those chargers are garbage, poor QC. Look for ANY iCharger. 106b, 206b, 306b depending on your needs. Best built constant current chargers on the market.

There is something to be said for allowing yourself some head room charge rate wise, but only if you plan on using it. If your lipos are capable of higher tnan 1C charging or you're going to be buying higher cells count lips that are, its def something to consider.

I use a 30amp charge rate iCharger 3010b, but I frequently charge lipos in parallel and use charge rates up to 30amps. If I was only running 2S and was satisfied with 1C charge rates, there'd be little reason to spend the money to buy a 30amp charger and capable power supply.

Thank for your info.
I am comparing protek and icharger, will choose between this 2 brands.

okay had mine for a (YEAR NOW) and going strong. and all the racers have them at the track i race at and i have not heard anything bad from anyone.
maybe just becuase you got a a bad one. but then again you always have that (ONE PERSON) who says YEA thats junk. my local hobby shop cant keem them in stock so i guess they are good.

Graphite07 03-22-2011 04:56 AM

I have two of them one being over a year old and the other about
6 months old. Still going strong and one racer at the track had hIs for a long
Time
