NiMh chargers

[Backtothefuture]

So got my GF's sister a starter kit monster truck, for her bday next month! just need to get her a charger and couple batteries.

Going to start off with some NiMhs, I wondered if anyone could recommend a 'cheap' NiMh charger?

I heard the SkyRC ones are decent.

I have had a search through the forum but wasn't confident.

Thanks for any help! (This is in the UK btw)

so do you want a stand alone charger? like one she can just plug into your house outlets? Id say yes...

This one right here is the one I bought, I've used it and discharged over 100 times on a single battery, works great. It comes with a tamiya connector, however they come in all kinds https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AVUAVC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this ,I think that I got it on action for 10 bucks ,it is a Dynamite brand!

Thats everyone!

Yeah I am happy with whatever connectors it comes with as I can solder some Deans on there easily. One for house outlets makes most sense.

Going to get her a couple decent 4000mah packs so just don't want something that will destroy them, but equally she doesn't need something tooooo fancy.

Yea ,I don't use the charger for a electric motor ,I only use it for a few receiver batteries!...

SkyRC is a decent brand, never used that one though. It's worth a shot.

With someone new and mostly charging nimh packs a simple charger (don't have to cycle through menus and functions) would be easier to use. Something like this would be a good starter charger https://www.modelsport.co.uk/skyrc-e450-charger-50w-4a-ac/rc-car-products/408411. A mutil function charger would definitely be better but the simplicity of just a button press and/or switch would be easier to use.

Dynamite makes some good inexpensive chargers. Here's one.
