You said that you wanted good quality items, but didn't specify what your budget was.

I don't have a 989, but I do have the LBA 10 balancer. My charging setup right now is a Thunder Power 1010C charger with a Thunder Power balancer. What is nice about this is that the balancer can communicate with the charger and work in tandem, rather than independent of each other. The LBA10 will work in this way with the Hyperion Charger as well.

One good thing about the 1010C is that the software is upgradeable via computer link. I don't think that the super brain is. The 989, from what I understand, is a good budget charger, as is the Duratrax Ice; but neither could be considered the best at what they do.

What ever you get, just be sure that it is capable of charging the largest pack that you will get at 1C, otherwise you will be waiting longer than necessary for your batteries to charge.
