we that one can only charge up to 10 cells at a time so i dont think it will meet your needs or charging 16-20 cells. i would recommend the astroflight 112d. can charge up to 36 cells at a time i believe.

squee, that's 10 cells per output, so 20 cells total. But, it can only charge at 2amps, which really isn't much.

Triton's pretty good, but I've heard the ICE is better. Ask MetalMan, he's a big fan of the ICE i know for sure.

The Triton can only do 4s Lipo, at a max of 2.5amps (at any cell count). It can do lots of NiMh cells at a good amp rate.

The ICE is an awesome charger. 4s Lipo at up to 8amps, just today charged my 4s 5400mah Lipo at 5.4amps and the charger barely heated up. If you aren't going to charge more than 4s Lipo, this is THE charger to get. It has so many features, I won't even list them!

And for the ICE a power supply is a definite to plug it into the wall right?

It will only charge 10cells at a time tho?I'm looking to charge both packs at one time. I dont plan on Lipo any time soon(years prolly).
