I used [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180040034285&category=34063]this[/link] charger and always ran GP matched cells.. you can also try [link=http://stores.ebay.com/rcMAXpower-SUPER-STORE]here[/link] for a good deal on batteries, I'd go with 3800's or better..
That charger is great if you're just bashing, plug 2 packs in and push the button, simple.. packs are ready in 15-20 minutes[sm=thumbup.gif] it automatically senses when the packs are peaked and the lights blink, trickle charges after that.

RE: E-Maxx Battery and Charger HELP !!
Cool Thanks ..I just bought two sets of 4200 wc's from Boom Boom Batteries ... Now Ill need a Charger ... I was looking at a ICE and a MRC I think it was called .... I want it beable to be used as DC or AC/DC I understand that a DC charger can easly be used as a AC/DC with a power suppy .... It needs to have discharge and peak power detection ... and be a dual charger ...

the one I posted doesn't discharge, but it does have that other stuff including AC/DC..
DuraTrax Intellipeak ICE is a great charger, spendy though.. It has a ton of features, well worth the $$ IMO

Nope, only 1 at a time with the ICE charger.
I use 2 [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXCLD5&P=ML]DTX digital chargers[/link] to charge all of my stuff. They are cheap enough and work well.
I like the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLCJ6&P=ML]MRC Super Brain 977 charger[/link]. It will charge almost any type of battery, 2 packs at a time.
I use Venom 3000 packs with good success. I tried a set of 3600 packs and didn't really notice a performance difference, just slightly longer runtime.
