Hey, Once again I realize that you get what you pay for, and my turnigy accucell 6 went up in a cloud of smoke. It was quite wierd actually. I had no batery plugged into it, i turned it on using the same powersupply as usual, and it beeps at me saying reverse polarity. A second later, that screen dissapears, and it goes to the normal menu. Then all of a sudden smoke starts coming out of it!. I turn it off, smoke stops. I turn it on, it acts normally, but lots of smoke starts coming out of it again! So, either I accidentally turned the smoke feature on and cant find the option to turn it off, or I need a new charger. If you have a good deal, please let me know.

Best deal you'll find is the Icharger 106B from Hobby City.

I think the switch for the smoke to stop is in the board.
Just smash it with the hammer, and it'll stop.

Anywho,
I'm satisfied with my BC6, but you could pick up a BC8 for it's built-in fan, and higher charging shenanigans.

I'd have to agree, I loved my E-Station 701, (older BC8 I do believe) but for the price, I'd go with the Icharger. My next order will be a 1010B+. $170 for a 10S 10A (I think) 250watt charger with a built in balancer and all, is a steal.

you can get a Hyperion 0610i for $150, its a 250 watt charger with a builtin balancer but 6s is the max

looks like i got some saving to do... anybody have a decent charger they'd do a partial or full trade on?

I've got a duratrax ice and blinky balancer combo I could sell you. Its older... (about 3 years old), but is still in perfect working and cosmetic condition. PM me if you're interested.
