I'm ordering a DN G2 i guess. Primarily because it's relatively cheap and has the ability to charge two batteries at the same time.

But maybe there are better 'dual' chargers?
(I'm also getting a bigger battery, i've flown almost 25 minutes (with a cooling period in between) on a 1100mAh 26C battery!)

I Have the Hobbico Accu-Cycle Elite that has all digital readouts with temp monitoring, charges two at once, but does NOT balance the lipo's in which you want. You can add a balancer to do this of course and it will work great. I have this so I can charge all my car stuff.(Nicd/Nimh/ and 1-3 cell lipo only) I've been pleased with it. Just another option...There is better chargers out there, this one was only 139.00 I believe. (Tower Hobbies) --Have a good one--Jeff

We look at Voltage on electrical "tanks"
I use a Common Sense R/C it has adjustable charge rate in .2 A increments up to 2 amps.
It will do 2-4 cells, and it shows voltage and charge rate on each cell. So you can see the
voltage of the cells, by just plugging in.
Also built in balancer.
Pretty simple and straight forward. I like it.

there are definately alot of chargers out there. i am currently using the intellepeak ICE and the equinox. It really depends alot on your budget. How much are you willing to spend for a balancer/charger? the FMA cellpro from www.fmadirect.com is a very good deal for lipo's, and it makes it simple to use and you don't have to know alot about batteries to use it. It can also graph to the computer.
