Is anyone using either the Eflight Celectra 1-3 cell charger or the Hobby Lobby Li-Poly Smart Charger for 1-4 cells? I have not seen any comments on these chargers pro or con. I am looking for a charger that wiill charge 860mAh 3 cell Lipos. I would even consider going on up to something like the Triton charger if there were enough advantanges.

Any comments or other suggestions...

Thanks

Biggest advantage of the Triton is the LED display. With discharge features etc you get a lot more information than the simple chargers will give you.

I've been using the Celectra for about a month now. No frills, but appears to do the job on my 3 cell 1500mA Kokam and ElectraFly batteries. No complaints and the price was right!

I have been using the Astro 109 Li-Poly charger for over a year now, and it's really great.

I can charge any combination of cells up to 9000 MAH, and by using a Parallell setup can charge more than one pack at a time in the field, saving a lot of charging time and increasing flying time.

I have packs that range from 1 P to 3P and 720 MAH to 3000MAH and so far this charger handles it all. The automatic sensing of the packs is awsome. It's never failed to get it right.

The only time I have ever had problems with charging, have been operator error.

How do you wire it to charge two packs at the same time? Are you just parallelling the two packs off of one output. I would be afraid that it would not charge the two packs the same. I assume that the two packs have to be the same size.

Look under your dash at the line going into the car lighter. Wire is small. Would not trust this indirect connection as you may fry your car, and charger. Go directly to the car battery to be safe.
