Default Looking for a multi port charger.

Ive been looking for a new multiport charger. I just recently got a HPI vorza and i dont like wating for my charger to charge one and then wait some more for the second battery. These are the things im looking for

Minimum of 50w in each port
Up to 3s in each port
Ac or ac/dc
Max budget of round $120

Ive been looking at the dynamite profet duo, the orion advantage one duo and the duratrax 245.

Dirt Cheap RC has some Vista Pro Dual chargers in that price range($115.) They are pretty decent now, as when i got mine over a year ago the buttons went bad, and they replaced the whole panel. They are 100 watts per channel and 8 amps charging rate, and ac/dc. After I got mine back, it works better than when it was new. It is very convenient having a charger that does two batteries for this price.

They make both an DC and AC/DC B6. The DC is in your price range, but the AC/DC is around $180

Yeah, that's the one. Used mine last night for today's race. It actually does quite well. i had problems with mine and they replaced the entire front panel, and now it works better than before, much better.

Why not just get a second single charger?

I considered that but i also have battery to charge for other cars and i think a dual port is a better value

In that case buy 2 single port chargers, 2 Imax B6ACs are only about $80.

I got the Imax X400 for Xmas which I really like so far but its probably outside of your budget once you add a power supply. Its a dual 200 watt charger so I can do 2 4 cell packs at 10 amps.

Currently the best bang for the buck chargers are the DC Reaktor 300 watt chargers from HobbyKing. Available as a single channel 300 watt or dual channel 2x300 watt. Rebadged Junsi changers. Look in other recent threads for more information.

We have this guy, which we have had great luck with and since it is over $50.00 it ships free:
