If you already have a charger for nickel batteries, check out the FMA Cellpro 4S balance charger. Intro price is $60, hard to beat at that price. Of course it only charges Li-Po's and is limited to a 3A charge rate, so not aimed at the guys doing .60 to.90 conversions . The Multiplex is a great all around charger for the buck, but there are good reasons to avoid "Swiss Army Knife Chargers"for both economic and safty related issues when dealing with Li-Po's, they are very intolerant of "senior moments or brain farts"
Just my two cents

Pete
