stop dude!!! don't screw with that stuff...
either MRC or the Hobbico Accucycle... I've got both and I'll tell you why I like the accucycle...
the accucycle has more control, with lipo's this is the thing... the MRC, well, I had it for a week and the damned leads shorted and blew it up... I'm not an electrical genius, but this is poor design and the lack of a fuse in their poor design is well, just..... you know... anyhow, they did replace it adn I currently use it, but I like my accucycle better.... like I said, I have more control, it seems more user friendly (you have to program settings, but it takes minutes)
oh yeah, the MRC won't charge at the same rates that the accucycle does, faster rates means less recharge time, also the accucycle has the option of temp probes (cool sounding, but I haven't seen the need for them, maybe for bigger MaH cells?)a
anyhow, what I'm saying is wait an extra couple of weeks, spend fifty bucks more and get a charger that will do what you need to do rather than buying three chargers until you get the right one!
