Post battery charger recos?
Been looking at multi functional/battery type chargers. I have narrowed it down to 3, any opinions or suggestions on which one to go with? I was trying to keep them all around the same price range since some come with the power supply and some don't (which seems absurd). So I figured that into my choices.

Sky Charger B6AC Dual Power

Imax-B6

TIA

I have the B6 (imax/poli/and whatever else they call it). I like this charger a lot. It is the same model as a lot of the higher end chargers and is made for those higher end companies. I am looking to get a third one soon so I can charge all three lipos at the same time.

thanks for the input, I was leaning towards that or the sky charger. I like the fact that the sky comes with everything including the power source for around $55 shipped

The B6 has most features you could look for like the built in balancer. It runs off a power supply and I bought the charger and power supply for $40 shipped. Works really nice though.

mind telling me where you got that price? I have seen them on ebay for around $45 shipped from Hong Kong but I am skeptical, I think they are knock off's.

These B6 chargers are made for various different companies using a different colored/shaped/decaled case, but they are all the same basic unit. Some have a little fan but it isn't really needed. If you look at the instructions/box they come in then you'll see that they all come from the same place. Including the LOSI version. Search for "lipo charger" on Ebay and you'll see plenty of them. I bought one that WAS NOT a buy it now option one. I had to wait for the auction to end and I got it for about $28.50. They list them with different prices trying to get whatever they can out of them. If you watch them for a couple hours then you'll get a good deal.

Here's the B6 that I have.

Same the following.

Hope this all helps.
