Default Battery Cycler/Charger

Is there a charger or cycler out there to check or condition your Nicad battery packs?
Thanks
Steve

If you're just playing with NiCads give the Accucyle Elite a try

The original 'Home' battery tester / charger and cycler was a home built kit by Digipace - I have one and it still works just fine.

Accu-cycle is a modern version that has more features, comes in a shiney box (from China) and works great.

Either will work and both are great, find either and buy according to your needs - you will not be disappointed!

Maybe not. Mine is 4 years old. The charger doesn't work any longer.

A friend had one. Same problem.

I have an AccuCycle Elite thats like 10 years old in regular service. Its nothing flashy and I dont use it for Lipos any more because it doesn't balance charge, but it charges Nicads, Nimh, 3S lipo, glow drivers, transmitters etc and for what it is, it does a fine job.

My elite stays busy full-time. Well, half of it does. Only 1 side works.
