I like the HiTec chargers also. But I really feel all chargers are about the same. Most importantly, base you charger decision on how many batteries you need to charge at one time. My son and I both race so I usually need to charge 2 to 4 batteries at a time. So I have a 4 port charger.

I like SMC and here is why, quality and price. Everyone I have has been at least as good or better quality as any other battery I have owned. The price is much lower than the competitions. I have had a $165 4s battery go bad by loosing charge in 1 cell within six months (Yes I stored it right and balance charged it.). I just bought the same mah and C rated 4s battery from SMC for $65. If it last more than 2 months its a win but I suspect it will last much longer.
