If you ever want to charge LiPos (up to 4s), you will find the ICE to be a much better charger than the Triton because it can charge up to 8amps, but the Triton can only go up to 2.5amps (for Lipos). The ICE also has other features like motor break-in (which can also be used as a variable voltage power supply up to 8v), and it also has a larger display with graphical capabilities. The only advantage that the Triton has over the ICE is the ability to charge up to 24cells! If you get the Triton, I would reccommend that you still keep the ICE.

I was going to say that when you charge that many cells, the charger is pulling nearly 30 volts from a 12volt supply :eek:
so it needs the amps to make up the difference
If you were to charge 24 cheap NiCd cells, the charger might have to put out 40v to peak the batteries (1.67v/cell) :eek: .
