What Lipo Charger You Use?

What Lipo Charger &/or Balancer do you use?

[BrianG]

I use the TME Xtrema usually with my Commonsenserc balancer. Good combo IMO. I set the CC/CV threshold to 4.15v to add a little extra cycle life (hopefully) to my lipos and it doesn't reduce runtime by any noticeable amount.

If that charger is busy, I use my old Hyperion EOS7i and LBA10 setup...

I use a hyperion 610i and 1210i with lba10 balancer.

i use a hyperion 1210i and a Blinky

Hyperion 0610i/lba6 balancer, I will be going to flightpower packs for my E Revo and I have the flightpower V balancer for that

Well, I use a Mrc 989, Duratrax ICE, or one of 3 hyperion 5i chargers. I have a variety of equinox, lba6 and flightpower V balancers that I use with each chargers. All work well, and would not hesitate to recommend any of them.

I use a MRC Superbrain 989 with a Hyperion LBA10 balancer.

I use the FMA direct Cellpro 10s charger. This is an excellent charger!

FMA direct Cellpro 4s
and a duratrax ice

Hyperion 0610i and Ice. I balance with the built in balancer in the 0610i.

Bantam BC6 with built-in balancer, very nice charger for upto 6s lipos or 14 Nimh cells.

I use the MRC "super brain" 977 pro (which by the way WILL NOT charge lipo batteries without destroying them). Few hundred dollars go poof in a matter of months. It's ok for nimh though.

Technically, you could charge lipos with a NiMH charger, providing the charger lets you adjust the current on-the-fly. When the battery voltage gets close to 4.2v/cell, just reduce the current in small increments to keep the voltage at that point. Once the current reaches about 1/10th of what you started with, terminate the charge. This is pretty much what all lipo chargers do (which is why I call it "adaptive constant current" instead of a true constant voltage charge). Of course, you'd have to sit there and watch the voltage like a hawk, not to mention the potential for "problems" if you forget...

Cool, so you got one of the first run huh ? I'm curious what packs you are charging and what the charge rate is when using auto. I have had the Cellpro 4s since right after it's release, and it's never given me a hiccup.
