Default li-po charger

what a good lipo charger for the money? I need it to charge and thats it. doesnt have to be hi-tec but would like a couple good features. with a 5000 at my track you can charge it and run it in all 3 races.

Here is a very good charger for the money:

And this is a good power-supply to power it:

For less then $80 you have a great power-supply/charger combo that can take care of all your charging needs.

thats really nice and I like how it balances them too. 5A is also good to charge at for a li-po. The power supply also looks good. I got great feedback for a $40 supply. Thank You for responding. I will pass this on to many people!

The HL charger only does 50w max out. A 5s 5000mah pack needs
( watts=v*a) 100 watts to charge in one hour assuming a 1c charge rate. If you use the hobby lobby charger you will be at its max output rate in order to charge a 1c battery in two hours...not sure I would go with this ,although for the money you might try it. I would spend the money on the single output hyperion and the hobby lobby 16amp PS. I use the hobby lobby 16a supply at the track and it works well, at home I use a 25 amp supply with my hyperion duo and can run 180watts per side.

Get the bigger Accucel-8 - its 150watt rated and just like the Accucel-6, except more output power, that same 16a, 14v power supply will be more than enough even for the 150watt charger (16 *14 = 224watts) -
