BigTruckDriver -> Which charger is better ? (4/20/2008 3:01:18 AM)

I am looking at either getting the Triton 2 or the Super Brain 989. Which is better? I have a few cars and trucks that are nitro and need the ir packs charged. I also have recently got into the eletric helicopter with lipos and need a charger for all. I do not know much about chargers but from what I read the triton 2 charges lipos with more than the 989 but the 989 has a output of 10 amps max. The triton 2 at 7 max , kinda confusing???
