Which charger should I get?
I currently have a Hobbico Accu-Cycle, a Hobbico Quick Field Charger and a Glow Bee glow plug charger. The Accu-Cycle is of little use and the Quick Field Charger is a little hard on ½A RX packs and it can't charge nimh.
I want to replace my stuff with something that can do it all, if possible. I was looking at either a Supernova or a Great Planes Triton. The Hitec CG-335 looks good though because it can charge more than one pack at a time and it has a glow charger.
What are most guys using? What are some of the pros and cons of some of the chargers?

I have been using a GWS charger. It does nicad and nimh both. Comes with assorted leads to match your battery connector. It has a dial adjust with a pointer movement indicator to see what current you are setting in. It will charge from .25 ma to 5 amps. It is a very easy charger to use and will take care of most, if not all, of your charging needs. It is a peak charger and switches to a pulse trickle after your battery is fully charged. Paid 59.95 for mine at LHS, but could probably be bought on-line cheaper. Check Horizon Hobby. I am pleased with mine.

HI,
I've used a Hitech 325 peak charger for five years or so with very good results. Recently bought a Schultze 330 Very good also. The Dymond Super Turbo at about $109 is very good....If i were doing it over, I'd do the Dymond and save a few bucks....Jeff

I got a CG340 from hitec for Christmas. I have been using it since, and have been pleased with it. I have also used the model above the CG340 and was pleased with it as well.
Both are easy to use and have some useful safety/convienience features.
