I can't find a forum for this so I'm posting it here (since all I fly now is arfs). I think I killed my Ace Digipace bench charger and I'm wondering if there is anything better/more user friendly out now. I never thought the Ace was that easy to use/program.

What is the "hot" ticket for charging your rx/tx batteries at home?

Thanks,

Jeff

Check out the Batteries & Chargers forum here...

I have both the Sirius Pro and the Triton charger. I use the Sirius charger about 95% of the time because it's so easy and gives a reliable and quick charge. I only use the Triton now for odd batteries like the glo-starter or my RC car batteries. The Triton takes a while to get used to with all the different menus and options.

You can get the Sirius Pro at RadicalRC for $119. http://radicalrc.secure-mall.com/sho...57&cart=179759

Both require a 12V power source. I just use my field battery, which I charge with a regular 12V car battery charger. I don't have a charger that is AC, other that the car battery charger. I also have a 12V power supply from Radio Shack, but I've found the field battery works just as well.

The Triton has been a winner for me. It'll charge any type of battery from Tx, Rx, and even Li-polis. I highly recommend it. Like "skydude" says, it requires a stand alone power supply. If yo are looking for a charger for just your Rx or Tx and you don't want to spend the extra flow on a power supply...may I recommend the MRC super brain 959 charger for $50.

Thanks - I couldn't find that forum for some reason!

Good point. The Triton can charge just about anything, once you set it up properly.

The Sirius is strictly for Rx and Tx batteries so it's 4, 5 or 8 cells, NiCd or NiMh only. Oops, scratch that. I was thinking about the Sirius Test, which is a discharger. The Sirius Pro will detect the number of cells automagically. It's pretty idiot-proof, which is good for me.
