I just picked up a AE T4.1 and I'm running nimh for now and will be running 2s or 3s soon. My question what's a good budget charger that will charge life, lipo, nimh etc. I aiming for ease of use and reliability with out paying a fortune. Would like to keep it under a 100.00.

go to amain and look for eco power they have a lipo charger balancer for 50 bucks not gonna beat the price on this one,,

go to hobbyhot to buy , they ship from hong kong

Have you used them before?

dont know if i would trust something from a shop called hobby hot in hong kong, just sayin

Hobbyking has some for really good prices. I alsopicked up a mrc superbrain 992 at the LHS for about 75 bucks works great.

I use the onyx 235. It's equipped with a built in balancer and will charge up to 5A while using AC and I believe it will do 8A using DC. It will handle your 2s-3s lipos without a problem. I think I spent 80-90 bucks at the LHS.

A charger is the one thing I will not go cheap on. Hyperion, Thunder power, Cell pro are all excellent chargers that will last flawlessly for years.

I have eco power 65. ac/ built in. Bought it for my life rx battery. Works fine. could use the extension plug for the balance ports but other than that its good.
Anyone know what kind of extension cord or board for balance plug will work on this? Where can I get one?
