Default What's your favorite 10A charger????

I'm looking at buying some new chargers with these attributes.

Charge 1s-2s lipo at 10A
Built-in Balancer
smallest size possible (same or smaller ThunderPwr 610C)
Voltage cut-off calibration or programmable.
DC input voltage range 11-18V

Please comment on what your using and if it meets or comes close to these requirements.

I use a Hyperion EOS 720i Super Duo 3.

Recently bought because of some of my larger heli batteries but also use it at the race track. Will never charge anything at the capable 20 amps but it more than serves my purpose just nicely. Expensive but IMO worth it.

It meets your criteria and then some, except in the physical size area. That's because it's a dual charger which for me is quite important because of the multiple classes I usually run.

I am currently using two hobbyking eco-610s and I'm really happy with them. I have a 40a switch mode power supply set at 13.8 volts.



These are about 40$ shipped from otheir HK warehouse and take about 2 weeks to arrive.

Venom also makes a really nice charger that allows you to have dual 10A outputs from one charger. It runs about $100

Pulsar 3 is a great little charger. Only thing is for 2 cell, you have to have a separate balancer.

My first iCharger 106 stopped charging (Connection Break) 2 weeks in.

My second iCharger has not been purchased yet... contemplating other options.
