Then I saw 2 more threads for the same thing and mine was buried.

There are 3 setups Im considering. The icharger, Protek duo, or Protek 610. Then power supplies the Junsi 350w or the Protek 20amp for the single or 40 amp for the duo

I really dont think I need a duo as I already own 2 chargers so I could sell one after getting the new setup and still have 2. I would use one mainly for my nitro stuff and the other for the e-buggy.

Both sites offer a one year warranty and Amain said he would work with me if I had a problem past the warranty period. I want something that the seller is willing to back up because I expect that means a low failure rate.

I was leaning toward the icharger setup because I think the 15v power supply would be better for charging my 4s packs but it only has one set of outputs so I wouldnt be able to power my other charger without rigging something up. So now I am considering the Protek single and 20 amp power supply as the front runner. I suppose the best setup might be the icharger and 20 amp Protek power supply though....yeah I have OCD
I'm interested in this as well. I may be in the market for a new charger and good power supply.
