Prices may vary somewhere in the $270 range. They will be in stock in less than 2 weeks. A unit has already been designated to be sent in for review for a spring issue of Model Aviation Magazine.

The closest charger on the market to this is the TP 1010C and optional balancer or the new TME Extrema. While some features overlap, neither come close to all the features of the BC-8.
