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?

i think the duratrax intellapeak ice is the best charger that is reasonably priced out there. the great planes triton is nice too but i love my intellapeak ice

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.

I agree, plus if you go to LiPo down the road they can handle that too.

SUPERGONZO

Dynamite Vision Peak Ultra

LIPO & NiMH AC/DC

LCD readout of how much your battery is charged

Variable charge rates



Its the best

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 !!
Have FUN & be SAFE !!!!!!!!

I know this post is a little old, but I thought I would mention that the Vision Peak Ultra has a hardwired AC plug on it. It can plug into a wall outlet straight out of the box.
