Default Best Lithium charger out there????

I have (2) 2 cell lipoly batteries. I also have a hobbico mkII pro series charger. I dont think it is that great. Seems to not give a full charge. But I am not sure. Is there a better charger ou there? I wan something that charges a battery in less then an hour hopefully. My hobbico charges in 45 minutes. I would like it for only lithium batteries. I have 3 other chargers for my other batteries for my stock birds. I use a atv battery for a power source.

Check out the Schultze chargers. By far the best available, if you are willing to pay for them.

Whatever it is I think that a temperature sensor is a must !!! especially when these things can explode, I would feel a lot safer with the sensor...
