I also fly electric and have a Dymond Super Turbo, Triton, SuperBrain 959, GWS MC 2002 and a Schulz. I charge all my batts whether
they are nicad, nimh, li-ion, lipoly gel cell etc. on them. RX and TX packs never over 1C. I only use my 12 volt gel cell in my field box for
hobbico starter. I do have a glow igniter that is used from the field box but generally use a hot shot portable. I have found that the less wires you have hanging from the field box near a moving prop, the better off you are!!!!
