LiFe packs are just as easy to charge as NiCd or Nimh. NoBs batteies sells a charge lead that lets you charge directly through the balance plug. Many of the newer chargers can do this without a special lead, but mine couldn't. I made my lead myself after looking at their pictures. If you want to make things really easy on yourself, switch the balance plug for a servo lead and use a standard charge port in the side of your fuselage.
