Which of these chargers would you choose?
My LHS has the following chargers, which one do you guys think is the best?.
DYNAMITE Vision Peak Ultra 99.00
E-FLYTE Pinnacle 99.00
INTELLIPEAK Ice 139.00
ELECTRIFLY Triton2 169.00
I'm looking to charge my NiMH and NiCa batteries for both my cars 6.0 volts and 7.2 volts and my airplanes which also use 6 and 4.8 volt packs.
I don't mind having Li-Po capability cause I plan on upgrading to those in the future.
Thanks.

Dollar for Dollar, I like the Bantam BC-5. I like that it has the built in lithium balancing and will do justa bout everything the others will do also. The only thing it won't do is cycle the batteries, but I don't think that is really needed.
Of the list you gave, I like the triton2 the best, but that price is way too high.
I am ordering the e-flight Banatm charger for myself this week.

I second on the bantam charger. Currently running the bantam BC-8, there is nothing out there that would touch it. Well from the list you provide, I like the duratrax ice. The programming is very intuitive and gives you lots of information on one screen so you can monitor your battery. However, with only 10cell nicad/nimh you can be limiting yourself. If you have large nicad packs that need charging / cycling then id go with the triton (but not at that price). If not the duratrax ice has my vote.
