Best Battery Charger
I am looking to buy a good battery charger that I can use in the field and at home. I am just getting started in electrics and will be starting out with NiMh batteries. What options or features should I be looking for? Any recommendations?

Thanks for the information. I looked at the Duratrax website and did not see the 'ice' model you referred to. Do you know the model number? I also noticed this charge was only good for NiCd and NiMh batteries. Is there another charge that would be more versatile. Looking to the futuere a I amy want to try other types of batteries.

Great Planes Triton2 Or Triton Jr are the way to go.

The ICE by Duratrax will also charge Lipo. Be aware that all these chargers will require a large 12v power supply or car battery to use. They don't pug into a household AC outlet.

[8D] I agree the Triton is a real good charger. You can also buy a decent 12 volt AC to DC converter at Radio Shack for a bout 40 bucks - it has paid for itself many times over and over !!
