i have the duratrax ice charger. i now have WAY too many batteries that need to be charged (12) for the duty of one charger. i do not have a balancer yet. so i was wondering what a good balance charger would be. it just needs to get the job done. nothing too fancy. it has to be cheap and run off ac power.

this is the one i use for my charging needs works really well for me does up to 6s lipo and has two different balancing boards.

um... little cheaper. im thinking like no more than 60 dollars. i will always use my ice charger primarily but in a worst case senario when all my batteries are dead and im going out with all my cars to bash around or go to the track it takes a day and a half to get them all charged now.

If you have lipos with the same cell count then the ice can charge many packs at once. If they're NI batts then no deal.

??? How do I charge multiple lipos. All my packs are 3 cell for the most part.

It's a little over your budget but way worth it. Most of the sub $50 charger are only 50 watts so if you want to charge a high cell count battery the charger is going to max out and only be able to charge at a low amp setting.
