Suggestion for multi-purpose charger for Firebird XL - 2/28/2003 6:21:17 AM

I've recently purchased a Firebird XL and love flying it. I'd like to get a good charger that I can use for both home and car charging while I'm out flying. I'm using the default 7.2V 900mA NiMH cells that come with the plane.

However, the local hobby shop is telling me I need a $75 charger, which frankly seems a bit high to me.

I've looked at several web sites, but am a little hesitant to buy off the web when I can't really tell if the charger will do what I want.

Anyone have any suggestions on a good brand and/or model?

Thanks in advance!

Craig

Thank you both for the suggestions!

I did a little surfing and looked at the PF-12 charger, which sparked another question.

While looking at the charger from various web sites, it doesn't appear to come with a connector that would accept a plane battery. Perhaps this is just because they aren't showing all the parts that come with the charger, but I'm not sure.

How can I tell if it comes with an appropriate connector?
