So I am very new to this hobby and just bought my first buggy that comes with 2 lipo batteries.  THe charger that came with it is  really cheap and slow, so I want to buy something that can charge the batteries in less then 2 hours.  I went on hobbykigs website and I saw all kinds of chargers, what are peoples thoughts on the  Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 6A Balancer/Charger w/ accessories or the IMAX B6 Charger/Discharger 1-6 Cells (GENUINE).  They seem to be very well priced, do they work well or should I be looking at something else?
Thanks

Those are both great entry level chargers for lipos and a lot better than the stock type chargers. If you don't have large batteries then those will serve you well for a long time.

Okay thanks for the reply, I just have to see who to buy it from.  Hobbyking price is good but the shipping is slow, and there is nothing local under $70.  Ebay is also all from china, so it's also slow shipping.

Never heard of it before , but almost ALL of those chinese chargers and clones are nearly identical. I just happened to get this one. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=17508

That one looks good, and it comes with a outlet so you can plug it into the wall!  Now I just have to get it to Canada!  3 Weeks...... out of stock!

Looks good, but the $30 shipping charge, plus customs kills the deal
