I have both the Cellpro Multi4, Cellpro 4S, the Triton, and an Alpha4 charger. As you can see I can charge about anything. I guess it all gets down to the fact that I'm just too damn lazy to change my charger for a different battery chemistry, and to look forward 1 day to see what the weather is going to be like the next day. I wake up and say ''this would be a good day to go out to the flying field''. I don't want to be bothered having to try to shove a charge into those NiCad cells before I go out flying. Without the NiCads to hold my lazy butt back, I can leave for the flying field in about 20 minutes using a single battery setup.

I haven't converted yet, but I am talking myself into it.

Why not just run an 1100 A123 in place of the nicad for ignition? I'm in the same boat you are, never know when the weather is going to be nice enough to fly.
