Hey all,
Been out of the RC scene for 4 years or so now and I just got another ERBE to play with. I used to have a Thunder AC6 charger when I had my old ERBE and I liked it but I've heard they don't have a great reputation.

Can anyone recommend a good charger for 2S and 3S lipos for my ERBE? I'd prefer not to not spend $200-250on a charger...I've been out of the game so I don't know anything about the new charger offerings. A dual would be nice to have.

Any recommendations on new chargers that fit the bill?

Currently I'm looking at this package...

and

Also the Turnigy Reaktor 2 (300W, 20A) paired with the matching 350W, 23A PS from Hobbyking.com

I'd like to charge them in parallel but am not sure what I need to buy to do so.

I've seen that the normal Reaktor charger is a copy of the Icharger 206B I think but has anyone used the 2x300W Reaktor charger? It'd be nice to charge two lipos at once.

If I went with the 2x300W charger, would this PS cut it? http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store..._240V_AC_.html

maxx no I have read and heard bad stuff on that ps.. Id just mod some atx computer ps. that can be found at your local electrical scrape area or any computer repair shop for under $10 each then another $5 in parts and a half hour with a solder gun ur set.. since ur only charging 3 cell batts you dont need 18+ volts and its unlikely ull be needing more than 15 amps to charge a single 3 cell battery..Just my 2 cents worth

I'd rather not make my own PS just for safety sake. I think i've decided to not go with a dual charger though. I'd get 2 single chargers if anything or if I can find a charger to charge 2 3S batts in parallel.

Any recommendations for a charger like this or a PS?

I have the ticket 350w combo. Works great although somewhat of an overkill. Parallel charging is where the iCharger shines. I never need to charge more than one battery at a time so I fail to utilize the full 20 amp capability.

So I think I've settled on the Turnigy Reaktor 300W 20A charger but still trying to find a cheap PS that is at least 17V!

I found this...is it all I need to charge my pair of 2S and pair of 3S packs in parallel?

I'm interested in these 2 charger combos as well. Do you need the 20amp version for charging only 3/three 2S packs?

Or, will the 10amp one suffice for charging just a few 2S packs?

The ticket is a great combo and gives you a little room to grow. Combined with a parallel board and you have a solid multipack charger setup for playtime use.

Which should i get if I only want to charge 3-4 2S packs (2-3 2S 4500mah packs and 1 2S 1600mah Rx pack)? The 10amp or 20amp Ticket Combo?
