Which charger best suited for me..

Almost 400 for the whole setup.... ouch. I'm not a racer or even a basher really, so that's one attractive thing about the 989, I could get two of them for 100 less than the Hyp and DC supply. If someone can really sell me on the Duo, then I will cough it up.......

I have the 0610i and I love it it was about $170 and if you are not on a big time frame would work for you (same as the duo but can only charge 1 pack at a time) and with FP packs you can charge at 2c if you want but that can shorten thier life. I use the ofna 18amp PS and it is plenty of power and it is ultra clean cc/cv

I finally started to look at it this way. I was getting to the point where each of my batteries were starting to run a MINIMUM of 50 bucks each (a lot of you guys are running 100 plus). I'd better make certain that the machine that is taking care of them is going to do the best possible job. I also dont race, and only actaully run them once a month at best. Therefore, my charger needs to be able to bring back cells that have been sitting for long periods - something the 989 I had seemed to not like.
