Default i need a good charger....

hey guys, i find myself in need of a good charger. it has to charge all types of batts, be extremely reliable, have a good display of data. internal balancer for lipo is nice but not neccecary. i don't have a budget but that doesn't mean i want to spend 300 on a charger. i'd be happy to pay between 100-150 for a good charger. also ac/dc or dc chargers are fine as i have a good power supply...

thank you guys in advance

i'd look into the check point or a hyperon and i think mrc makes one that does that too not 100% tho those are the ones i'd look into with that setup

Check out the Hyperion 0606i, it's about $130 and a very good charger.

Is the venom Pro Charger any good? I've heard good things about it. I'm also looking for a new charger.

The Venom charger isn't bad, I have one but I still prefer the Hyperion one at that price point.

How much power would you like to use? OR what is the max voltage and current?

Both of those jobs can use about 50-100 watts At 1C it is 40 and at 2C it is 80 maybe. I would consider the two Tritons, Triton EQ for 50-63 watts and the Triton 2 EQ at 100-120 watts. They both have the balancer and the ac/dc you want. If you get the bigger one you may double up on packs in the future and not run out of power so quickly.
