Help choosing a charger
So I finally decided to buy a lipo and charger after using the stock NIMH that came with my Merv. The chargers I've narrowed down to due to availability and price are the Venom Pro 2, Venom 2-4 cell ac/DC, and lastly the SkyRC IMAX B6AC V2. Im wondering if any of you guys have had experience with these chargers and could recommend me one. As for the lipos I'm planning on buying 2 SPC's so the Venom 2-4cell is a little appealing since it can charge 2 lipos. But it doesn't support other types of batteries and I heard that those small plugs it charges with are slow for charging.
All answers appreciated!

I highly suggest the Pro 2 if you can get one. It is a great charger with lots of chemistries and connectors. I do agree on the 2-4 Cell AC/DC unit being a slow charger, as it only charges using the balance plug. If you want a dual charger for cheap, get the Venom Pro Duo for $99. If not, the Pro 2 is a great charger.

Living in Canada everything is pretty expensive, and the Pro 2 price went up so I'm going to take that out of the list, How would the Venom 2-4s AC/DC compare to the Duratrax Onyx 225? Theres no dual charge but its using the normal kind of charging method, I heard Duratrax is good with chargers, and it also comes with a Traxxas connector.
