Need to invest on a good charger

[insutama]

Basically i am just sick of having like 5 different trickle chargers for all my batterys such as my reciver battery, glow igniter, and the roto start battery. Is there a good charger out there that would connect to all of the batterys and if so what are some recommendations ?

I think you would have better luck in the general electric section.

Duratrax Ice. One of the best chargers I have had. Charges Nicad, Nimh and Lipo. Only thing about it I do not like is you must have a separate power supply for it. Other than that it is a solid charger.

For $50, this one isn't bad: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRST9&P=ML

Doesn't do lipo's, but does pretty much everything else. It does a really good job peaking NiMH and NiCAD cells without over heating them. Pretty much adjust the current to what you need, plug in the pack, hit start and let it do it's thing. You have to make sure to change the current though, default is 3A, so you have to change every time you plug it in if your using it to charge AA or 2/3A cells down to at least 1A. I usually charge at .5A and get a longer lasting charge.

I have the 959 and I use it to charge:
6V receiver packs (1100mah 2/3A - 2200mah AA)
7.2V Stick (cheapy 1500/2000 for ez-starts)
transmitters holding 8 2200mah AA's
1 cell glow plug
4 cell 850mah AAA in my micro-t
2 cell AA holder for my camera
4 cell AA holder for whatever
12V cordless drill

Pretty much, if it has batteries and is in my house, I've probably charged it with the 959.
