So far I can find no reason to spend more money on something that may or may not do the job any better. I'll have to admit that all of the Hobbico items I have purchased have performed as expected.

It has charged my batteries on the way to the field and a few times complete charges at the field.
I like that it charges both packs at the same time. I have had no problems at all with it.

The only problem that can come up will be with your field battery.
If you plan to top off packs and such, a regular field battery will be fine. If you plan to charge your packs totally off of the field charger then you will need a hefty battery.

I can also say that all the products that I own from Hobbico have been excellent...no problems.

Status: offline 		I also am very happy with this product. I think it represents a step up in the Hobbico line of auxiliary equipment. This charger is very easy to use, pretty quick charging (2 A), can charge two packs of NiCd, NiMH, and Li-ion, and has many fool-proof features. Never a problem or even a hick-up; worked right out of the box without really a need to read the manual.

In short, if it was a woman, I would marry her.

Status: offline 		Mine just fried my 9.6 transmitter battery, melting the case of my Futaba 9c. thankfully the transmitter still works, just some slight case damage. It seems that only 1 port is bad on my charger, the other still works. I guess I will be buying an AcuCycle Elite as soon as I get the cash together.

Status: offline 		Honestly it has been a great charger for over a year, it seems that one of the chargers has gone bad. I had a 1500 mah receiver pack, and now my 1500 mah transmitter pack, both were fried by the charger on seperate occasions. I set the knob to 1.5, and pressed the button twice to charge Nihm batteries, which were what the packs were. Both seemed to be taking a long time, and when I checked, they were hotter than hell and cooked. The other charge port seems to still be working fine. Like I said, I will be getting an Accu-Cycle Elite. It seems to be a higher quality charger.

Status: offline 		The charger is supposed to stop when the battery is full so I wait until it stops. I always make the simple multiplication to know about when the charger should stop but I forgot to check two times and the second time, the battery fried.
