Well in the first link, (Which is to an Auction and is against RCU policies)
Thats a Power supply, So that will be needed if your Using a 12V Battery charger for home use... instead of a Car battery...


The ICE will charge the Batteries just fine.

Leave the Smart charger alone.. it only has a 2 amp out put.. I would suggest going for a charger that has a minimum of a 3amp out put...


As a Suggestion, try for the Best charger you can afford...

I like the Triton JR

As a minimum

It has 3amp output means that a 3000mah Battery will be done in 60mins

I got the second one the magnat mentioned. I like it, its a pretty good little charger. It is timed and you can program up to 10 differnt batteries in it. It also plays this music when your battery is done charging. It charged my 1400 nich in like 20 min or so... Its small and compact and can be hooked up to both a house and your car, not at the same time of course...

they dont have to be they just happen to be =) also it usually means that they go together easily....and support is pretty good from duratrax (or in my exsperiance)

intelects are nice baterys some last hour or 2 which is very nice =) get 3 or 4 of them and 2 chargers or a duel that holy crap you can run all day man

good luck!!
