Well I've been running a fast charger from a local hobby shop for a while now, one of my friends somehow reversed the polarity and fried it. Or at least thats my best guess either way the thing took a shit. And now I'm stuck wall charging with a slow charger and with 5 AEG's and 6 batteries this is not a pleasant process. So I'm in the market for a new charger and I'm not terribly well versed in battery chargers so I'm looking for suggestions. I'm looking for something not terribly expensive though I seem to see most of the options with the features I'm used to are in the $70-150 range. Either way I'm shooting for $35ish, just seems like a good amount;) Either way any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Luke

I got my TLP from UN Co. for $45. Adjustable charge, auto shutoff (actually switches to trickle charge), and discharger function. Overall, I've been extremely happy with it, other than the fact that the fan blew out on it and I'm too lazy to fix it (still works just fine without the fan). Will provide a link in a bit.

Well today at work I ended up purchasing another charger just like I had:) Damn thing worked good, and really wasn't to pricy. I remembered what brand I had, a Dynamite Phophet DC charger. Hooks up to a 12v source and 4amp charge rate, used to charge my large in about 12min. So I guess not much point in the thread though wouldn't be a bad idea to keep it alive in case someone actually searches:) And since I don't recall many charger questions on our forum may be worthwhile.

One of the best chargers I can think of is the Novak Rhino Charger. Not only does it have the same features as the TLP, but it'll condition the batteries as well. I can get a full charge (with a good battery) in about 10-15 minutes. It's small (about 4-5 inches wide, 2-3 inches tall) and it hooks up to your car battery. I've only had mine for about a year or so, but it's performed flawlessly.
