Default RE: field charger

I have a Hangar 9 Double Vision charger. If you are seeking charger envy from all your friends, this might not be the charger to get but, if you want a charger that works without all the math, this one is great! It charges both 4.8 and 6v and will charge your Tx batteries as well. It also has a port to charge the glow igniter. I've had two and the glow igniter charger died on both of them so, that wouldn't be the reason that I'd buy one but it was nice while it lasted. I sent the first one back to Hobby Services and they sent me a new one. I have no issues with their customer service, I'm just hesitant to send it back for another one simply because the glow-charger isn't working. I just make sure that the batteries are charged in the igniter and worry about charging the plane and Tx batteries. I have no real issues with this one. I tried to use an Accu-cycle for a while and the batteries weren't getting a full charge. I'm sure that I didn't have the settings 100% correct but, I basically used the settings programmed into the Accu-cycle. My experience was much better with the Double Vision charger and it's about half the price. It WON'T do lipo batteries though. Hope this helps.
