Default Need some advice on charger

Want to get a better charger than the stock one that came with my nitro revo but not spend too much. Going to charge Nicads and NiMh packs etc and want something that will tell me if the pack is fully charged or not and something that I can just hook up to the packs and forget about and not worry about them exploding etc but will fully charge them.

There are a ton of chargers out there and not sure what some of them can do and I don't want to spend $200 usd on a charger.

Anyone have a product they're happy with you can recommend?

I think I found what I'm looking for, the MRC superbrain 960.

The super brain is a great charger. I have one it will do anything you want, nicad's, NiMH, and even li-po's and lead acid[gell cell]with attention to instructions,and it will charge two different battery's seperatly and individually, and has a discharge funtion on one channel.

Thanks guys. I use 6 cell 4500 cell packs so that kicks the 960 out so it looks like the triton jr. is the best fit/value. I think I'll get that one.

thanks for the suggestions
