Battery charger
I currently have a MRC Super Brain palm charger that died when I was at the flying field the other day.
I am looking for a new one better than this one that can charge multiple types of batteries. Any sugestions? |

Re: Battery charger
I've used an iCharger for about 4 years without one hick-up. They are simple to use, lots of online support, and updates if you choose. I parallel charge all the time, my largest batteries are 4s 3300's, and I can charge 3 at a time with no problems, in about 30 minutes.

Re: Battery charger
I second the iCharger recommendation.
Only thing I would do differently if I was buying now would be to get a pair of 106B's rather than a single 3010. |

Re: Battery charger
I bought a hobbyking charger that charges up to 4 6s batteries at once. I have never had any trouble with it. Was $99 usd at the time. Pretty sure its still available.

Re: Battery charger
A consideration when buying a cheap battery charger.... when it quits over and over again and has to be replaced then the investment starts to swing toward a more quality unit. Sometimes you win and sometimes you don't. Something to think about .

Re: Battery charger
I tend to here about more hobbyking power supplies failing than chargers
