Default Never thought it would come to this - New Charger Question

When i bought my Triton EQ2 a couple years back i never thought based on what i paid for it and the list of specs it offered, that i would have to upgrade it.

Well 2 years and change later i have swapped to Electrics exclusively and I'm finding that this charger just doesn't cut it any more.

Everything I currently run takes 2 lipos (i have 4 rigs based on the Traxxas E-revo chassis). So far i have been getting by with a series charge adapter (charges 2x2s as a 4s) but I'm sure a DUO charger is far better suited instead of running an extra adapter.

Problem is, i really don't want a charger i can go mobile with as i have enough batteries i basically just charge them all up and go, when i run out of battery (which rarely happens before i break something lol) i come home.

Looking for an AC/DC charger, dual charge capabilities, storage mode (one feature missing from the Triton2EQ surprisingly).

What would be my ideal cost effective charger that meets these requirements? If i have dual charging i don't even need to be able to fast charge, so a crazy high output charger isn't a total requirement.

Throwing the question out there only because i haven't had to look for a charger up till now, i bought the EQ2 back then knowing it was overkill for what i needed, but didn't want to have to run out right away and upgrade it.
