Default Need a new charger

Hey I am looking to buy a new charger to charge my NRG 3s 2200 mah 40 C batteries. The battery states it can be charged at 5C.
I dont want the most expensive one, but Ido want it to have some features. (digital screen, adjustable amps, and the accesories.
Only needs to charge one batteryat a time and can handle up to 3 cell lipos.
budget : around 50 to 100 for the charger
For a trex 450 pro.

I have my old e-sky 2-3 cell charger its what i'm using now but Iwant an upgrade
Ilike helidirect as they areclose to me and will be buying 2-3 more NRG lipo packs
at around 50 bucks each.

If the battery can be charged a 5C Iwant a charger that will at least allow me to charge at 3-4 C
What chargers are you using and how do you like them?

Thanks

12 x 2.2 x 5 = 132 watts and 4 x 2.2 = 8.8 amps. A duratra ice might be nice .

You may like the Imax series, they are working pretty well and cost not much.

I bought a Prophet from HorionHobby and I love it. It was 70 bucks and charges up to 6S. It is simple, plugs into the wall outlet, balances great and is good quality. It does not have a digital display but it does not need programming and you can get a small battery monitor for 15 bucks to eliminate the guess work.
