The display on the Turnigy charger looks identical to the Thunder AC-6 charger found at
http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html. I suspect they are using the same programming chip that was probably cloned in several units in the knock off world.
A big plus with the Thunder AC-6 is that you can run off AC or DC current.
skirack, this warning is found on most Turnigy chargers page @ Hobby King:
ATTENTION.
There are several chargers now entering the China market that look similar to the Accucel-6. These chargers are produced with cheaper FETs and unfortunately much less accurate and very unsafe. There has been reports of the copied chargers over-charging packs and not balancing correctly.

Your batteries are expensive. We understand this and thats why we will not carry low-quality charging devices.
