Hi guys, As I collect planes I've found out that I need a better charger. All I have is the wall chargers that came with the 800mah batteries that I have. Well now I have two 4.8 2300 mah and two 6v 2300 mah batteries along with 4 800 mah. I looking for someting that will charge at least two batteries at the same time. And it would be nice if it would charge them faster then the wall charger. Money is tight so it cant be top of the line just something to get the job done. What do you think. What are you useing?

It is hard to beat this one: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXEYD4&P=ML

It will charge two at once plus it is it comes with a power supply so you can run it off of 12V DC or from a wall plug.

I seen some on ebay that I think were from hobbycity. Does anyone know if they have any that are worth buying. Thanks chuck. I found a good deal on one of those that I might be getting if nothing else comes up.

I have the Acucell-6 from hobby city. It is an excellent charger for the money. The only down side is that it only charges one at a time and is DC only out of the box; you'll have to get a power supply to run it on a wall outlet.

Of course I know Hobby city sells more than just that charger but it's the only one I have any experience with.

Go with the Accu-Cycle Elite. I just saw one in the RCU classifieds for $60.

I have the Accucycle Elite and I think it is the greatest

A good computer controlled charger is a safe choice, as it measures the condition of the battery directly.
It will read and monitor the decrease in current flowing into the battery as the peak occurs and adjust accordingly... something the older Accucycle does not even begin to do, but the Elite does after a fashion.

In Tower Hobby's arsenal a Triton charger is a better choice, albeit more expensive, and something like the IntelliPeak or it's backlit brother the Team Checkpoint RC-1030 are phenomenal. The latter do a slew of useful things that others do not, although they are limited to 4S LiPo packs.
