Hi guys I am looking for a storage and balancing capable charger, I currently have the Duratrax 245 but unfortunately I don't have as much time to run my cars as I would like. I am looking for another charger that is capable of putting my lipo's into storage mode, I am looking to keep it around$80 and I would like it to be AC powered.

Hitec x1 best charger for the money. Period

The problem you run into with the cheaper chargers is the discharge power is 25 watts at best and sometimes only 5 watts. Twenty five watts discharge on a 2s pack is slow but on a 4s pack it is painfully slow. Personally I'd bump up the budget some and pick up a used Junsi iCharger 306b and use a server power supply.

I have 2 venom pro chargers, relatively decent in price and they last for ever, on I have had for over 2 years!

Any links, websites, & suggestions appreciated.

In my first post I should have said best for 80$.
