,

I cannot recommend the AC680 Thunder charger enough; it has the built in STORAGE feature setting for putting your batteries at the desired voltage automatically for storage...it's why I bought this charger. And it's one of the most inexpensive smart chargers out there - coming in at $50 bucks! Comes with the temperature sensor too, although I've never had issues with charging my batteries and them becoming too warm. Not if you obey the 1C charge rule.

The temp sensor is really for nimh nicd to prevent overcharge in error. One can get good chargers with a little less amp charge (50W). For as little as $21 shipped on the auction site with storage and all the features. Everyone starting electric should invest. I have at least 100 cycles on some lipos.

What's its max amp and wattage? Many chargers have a storage function or ability for around that price.
