Default Hi amp lipo charger

Hi,
I am looking for a charger to charge big capacity lipol packs ( above 10000mAh), It should be quick ( 10 A or more), have link to a computer (usb), measure charge and discharge capacity above 10000 mAh.

Thanks, Marek

How many cells in series are you looking to charge?

Usually just 3, but capacity reaching 20-30Ah. I am also looking for balancer that has more than 6 outlets.

Thanks, Mark

Check out the FMA Balance Pro. It will do most of what you ask. Charges at 10 amps and has a USB cable available to hook into your comp. Mine works great as you can prinout the info and check down the road to see if your batts. are deteriorating. Shows each cell as it's charging.

As for a charger I am thinking about IntelliPeak ICE, or this new Triton (ZX?).
What do You think about it?

Those don't have the balancer you're looking for. Take a look at the Bantam BC-8, it has a built-in balancer upto 8 cells+ lipo storage, lipo fast and lipo cycle options + it supports upcoming LiFe cells.

Bantam looks good but the price even though it has a balancer built in is too high for me. Combo with IntelliPeak ICE and 6 cell balancer would be 100 $ less. Do You know about any other charger/ballancer maybe with support for LiFe cells that would be under 200$ range?

Thanks, Mark
