Just wondering what everyones opinion on the best Lipo charger is. I need one that can do 10amps or more. Doesnt need to have an internal balancer or only do lipos. I have been doing a little research but wondered what actual owners opinions are. Not looking to start a war here; just looking for a little info and opinions. Thanks in advance.

I hope you're interested in a DC powered charger. Highest I've seen in a AC/Dc is 8amps.


My advice would be the iCharger 106b, its has a 10amp max charge rate and 250watts of charger output power and for ~$100 its a pretty good deal. If you need higher charge rates, iChargers are available with 20 and 30amp max charge rates.

Man 5amp chargers are getting really cheap can't wait till the 10 to 20 amp Chargers get in the 50.00 75.00 dollar range. I have seen a new 5amp with built in balancer and power supply for less than 30.00 shipped.

This i-charger and venom (or any of it's clones) are decent 10 amp chargers , so is the TC 1030 Checkpoint.

If you don't need the 10s capability of the iCharger 3010B then you can get the 6s version for a bit less. Also note that the i-charger/Venom chargers are not the same manufacturer as the Junsi iChargers. The Junsi iChargers are considered to be the best "Chinese" chargers.

I got my 3010b before the 306b came out and don't regret getting it even though I'll never use its 10S capabilities and paid a little more for it that you'd pay for the 306b.
