I have 2 and they're great. The only downside is that you have to either purchase or build adapters to other brands' tap connectors. Adapters typically run $10 each; you can find them on that same page below the chargers.

Any 12 volt battery or power supply will work that's close to 12 volts.

Yes, I have one. I really like how easy it is to use. You just select if it is 1-3cell or 4cell start it and away it goes.

Not all lipo chargers can charge all the lipos on the market.
