Battery charger recommendations

[Rickwales]

Hi all.

Did a search and couldn't find a post on this.

Looking to get a better battery charger. I have mostly deans, but also a few tamiya. Mostly LiPo but have a NIMH for my Thompson and another type I forget. (Will change both soon.)

Any recommendations for something safe but not gonna break the bank please?
Thanks

I switched over to the SkyRC T100 a couple of years ago; It is well spec'd and does the job well.

You will need to buy a couple of cables for it though.

That looks wicked. What cables would I need? Thanks Colin

"SkyRC iMax B6AC V2" is another very popular choice, but there's a lot of knock offs so be cautious

I was hoping for something I could run off this when out

I've had a couple of IMAX B6 AC chargers for a few years now. Probably clones, but have been superb. Very cheap, and usually come with a wealth of connectors. Will charge both nimh and lipo, and will put your batteries into storage mode too after a game day .

I'll do some research on those 2, thanks everyone. On looks alone i like the 1st one most, but obviously that's not the best way to choose.
Thanks for the quick replies everyone.

Cables or adaptor plugs? Is one safer than the other?

It does not come with charging cables; the shop I posted does them for £1.99 each.
