Hi! I'm new to RC... I have a Hummingbird v3 micro heli... and I'm looking to move to LiPo's... I've seen a lot of people pointing to the Triton as the best charger, but I'm just looking for a charger that will do the job. I went to the website of the Triton and saw that they have a charger that is just for LiPo batteries from 1-3 cells... Anybody have used or know something about this model? or any other charger that would recommend?

yes, this is a good charger. me and a friend went 50 50 on it and love it, the downside is that you have to wait a bit if you use a big battery. i charge a 1500 for almost 2 hrs but it lasts almost an hour in a gypsy at 14 oz so i am not sure what runtimes choppers get but prolly close, als over 1 hr on a ss with throttle management. great charger though very simple, but a tad slow on 1000+mah lipos. and for less than 30 dead presidents it not expensive either. however the triton is a higher quality. but not worth the $ to me

Hi amdhotprocessor, Thanks for yout response... I was thinking the same thing... I thought that maybe the triton would be too much for my actual needs... I read a review on a forum which I don't remember that says that it is a good and reliable option so I think I'll buy it in a few days/weeks... thanks again...

I picked one up this week, primarily because I share the same sentiments as you guys. So far it has worked well charging a ThunderPower 1320mah 3s.

The only thing missing is all the "bells & whistles" features & that it charges kind of slowly. Neither of those are a big consideration for me.
