Sorry to bring back an old post......

Duster, can you please let me know what you were mentioning there? I still have not purchased a new charger and was thinking about buying the Powerlab 8 to charge my Turniny 4500mah 4s (ebuggy) and Turnigy 5000mah 2s (SCT) batteries. After looking into options it was one of the following...

1)Lots of 4s, lots of 2s batteries and a basic charger so I did not have to charge at the track.

2)Couple of 4s and couple of 2s and a 4 port AC/DC 50W charger

3)Powerlab 8 (quick charging capability) running off car battery. Said to charge the 5000mah 2s in 5-8minutes and the 4500 4s in about 10-12minutes this way?
