Looking for a quality/ not cheap one that you replace in a year.
Had a DuraTrax Onyx 245 AC/DC Dual Output Multi-Chemistry Balance Charger-fan died and one port stopped working.
Then bought a HITEC 44167 X4 Plus AC/DC 4-Port Multi-Charger - The "capacity cut off" does not work. Keeps on running
So, what is actually a good charger ???? Run 3 vehicles on race day
Thanks

I agree, I never had a powerlab but would say that the Hyperion and iCharger are the best on the market. I just purchased a iCharger 4010duo. My Hyperion is a EOS0615i and I've had it for almost 11yrs!!! and it still works fine. It's a dual charger that charges 20amps per side with a discharge rate of 10amps per side. I got the iCharger cuz I'm gonna be getting into 4 and 6s packs and it will charge @ 40amps per side with a 10amp per side discharge rate. Make sure u don't go cheap on a power supply if u get one of these power beast, I'm feeding mine w a fuel 60amp 1200watt 15-24v power supply.

I'm just a hobbist so use a Dynamite Passport UltraForce 200w AC/DC charger as my main charger, also a Prophet Sport Dual for charging my 1/16 sized Lipo's.
I've only had it for several months, but both are running well so far.

I HAVE THE HYPERION 730 AND IT IS OK VEWRY GOOD HIGH QUALITY CHARGER BUT IT IS ALMOST TOO GOOD, THE THINGS IT DOES COMPARED TO WHAT I WANT ARE NOT A GOOD MATCH I JUST WANT SIMPLE HIGH AMP 2S CHARGING, IT GIVES MORE NUMBERS AND RECORDS THE CHARGES SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THEM AND GRAPH THEM ON A COMPUTER. IT CHARGES VERY WELL THOUGH AND I STILL HAVE MY LAST HYPERION IT WAS AN A/C D/C MODEL THAT GOES UP TO 6 AMPS THAT CHARGER HAS BEEN USED FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER A PROBLEM SO HYPERION IS VERY HIGH QUALITY.
I STILL WANT A SIMPLE 2S CHARGER THAT JUST CHARGES AND DISCHARGES AT HIGH AMPS AND ALL THE OTHER FANCY STUFF CAN GO IN THE TRASH CAN, SIMPLE WOULD BE NICE
