Status: offline 		There are no true AC/DC chargers per say. They are all DC, some just come with a power supply built in/included that's all.

Hyperion EOS 0606i like others suggest or the Super Brain 989 would be the top choices if you don't want a separate PSU.

I also like my AC powered digital piranha after it gets used to 5 amps on AC.

I agree. An ac/dc charger that can charge 1-3s lipo, a123's, nicd and nimh (8-cell), 10 preset battery memory, with a backlit LCD screen, a 5-year warranty, and a max charge current of 7A for $80 is a good deal, IMO. Couple the 230 with a Blinky balancer and you have yourself a good solid lipo charger and balancer for $110. Ya just can't beat it.

+1 for the 230. I have a 210 and its worked great for me, but now I wish I would have spent the extra money and gone with the 230.

That's the one i think i will get. Tower has it on backorder until next month. Now i see they expect it in at the end of the month instead of mid-october...
