Default charger?

i'm a newby and i've been going to the track with and running my t4 and tc4 back to back while the other is cooling. i have two 3300 and two 4200 batterys. i only have one charger which is a pro-max black widow. doing some research it seems like it is only rated for 3300mah batteries. i hope i'm not messing up my batteries. i've been charger them at 4amps.

i'm looking to get a new 2nd charger and have no idea what to get. i would like to stay under $100 and have it be a/c. it seems like everyone likes the ICE but i don't want to also have to get a power supply too.

i've read that the novak ionic can see if there is a problem with the battery and address it while charging. maybe by cycling it?

the duratrax piranha digital seems popular and like a good bet.

also the duratrax peak twins seems interesting since it can charge 2 batteries at once. which would help out. (only charges at 3.5)

then there is the duratrax intellipeak pulse charger

it seems like for each of these chargers there is one person who says its great then the next guy says it false peaks.....

Well, your right. Some love them some hate them mostly. They all do have their advantages/disadvantages.

How about a ual 977 super brain.

Best charger for you price range is a used Tekin 112c charger. It is AC/DC and can charge those high capacity batteries. Look on Ebay. Expect to pay from $50-75. Just make sure you get one wiyh H28 or higher firmware. Otherwise you will have to send it in to get upgraded.
