Battery Chargers - Best?
#1
I've only been around this site for a short time and have gathered a lot of good info from various members, mostly pertaining to off road nitro. Still, being an electric buggy racer at heart I've begun looking for info to upgrade my electric off-road arsenal. What do you think of the Integy 16x8v6? Any others I should be considering? I need a charger that handles NiMH and NiCads mostly with a motor run feature. PLEASE!, don't start a flame war! I'm sure there are many great choices. Thanks - DaveB Big Grin

can't go wrong with the Indy 16x8xv6 That is one of the top charges money can buy and worth it if you are into racing.

I swear by my MRC 969, I charge everything with it except for the ignitors.

he needs a motor run feature, not sure if the 969 has that and I'm sure the duratrax unit does not.

Thanks for the feedback...the Integy sounds like a good choice from what you're all telling me for my needs. I also stumbled upon a charger by competition electronics called the GFX35 or something like that, but it costs nearly twice as much. Any reason to go with one over another? Thanks - DaveB

actually you can go wrong with this.... it has no memories... have to reset up the WHOLE charger if you change what you charge.

alot of people like the ICE charger... i think it has run in on it.

I have had it for a while now.. you can read a review here:
http://www.bigsquidrc.com/reviews/ (scroll down)

It's been able to charge everything I throw at it... the only downside is that you need 12v power supply.
Otherwise it's been great. It's got a decent memory on it, though I'd love to have more.. I think it's up to 8? It does have motor break in, but I haven't used it yet.

Just my 2 cents.
