Battery chargers - what are you using and why?

[Sneaky]

Hi all. What battery chargers are you lot using? Is there the best go to battery charger? Are there ones to avoid?

Any info would be great!

Thanks all.

standard recommendation is the imax b6.

i'm using an old rc charger that's not that well specced by todays standards but it's been reliable for many moons. does need a seperate balancer though.

avoid those nuprol 3-led types, i've seen 4 or 5 on here (including one i owned) kill batteries when one of the charging circuits died (which is why i no longer run life batteries)

Turnigy Accucell 6 mainly due to cost and availability. It can charge anything you'll use and does so in a way that makes it pretty unlikely you'll blow something up. I actually went for it because I heard there were problems with counterfeit B6's and the Accucell is a Hobbyking thing that I could get directly from them.

iMax B6,  no idea if mine is legit or china clone, got it off eBay for £25 and its bloody brilliant.
