I'm not saying mine is better, I was just giving my personal reccomendation.
Well i'm sorry then, but:
Electronically speaking. Daisy chaining ANYTHING is never safer than dedicated. Everything that charger you linked does that is realistically "usable" is done by the hitec charger and many many chargers like it. Those silly PC downloads and 'battery telemetry' they are bragging about is being bloated into nonsense.
"virtually unlimited charging parameters" - Uhm, so can a 70.00 charger.
"will charge, discharge, monitor, or multiple cycle any current or future battery chemistry" - Really? They know the future? It's an open source Windows GUI that can be dramatically changed for unknown future charging of batteries? If so, Why isn't it 500.00?
I don't know what other thing I "offended" you with but i'm sorry, and am sure you're going to live.
