Am looking to get a new charger as the cheap one I got from China I dont really trust. Anyone with any ideas I have been looking at  Muchmore Platinum Edition Silent Charger / Discharger ICharger 106B+ 10A Balancing Charger (w/ PC Interface) ( Can you get hold of this terry ?) Dynamite PASSPORT ULTRA AC/DC CHARGER/CYCLER At the moment I like the look of the icharger any thoughts chaps ? |

I've never seen anyone use the I-charger.. 106B comes from Schumacher UK, so I expect it'll be good quality, I've seen a 206B but not available from a UK supplier as yet..
Whilst I've not used the Platinum, they seem instantly popular.. as with most muchmore products.. - they are very pricey!
the other one I've never heard of..
Perhaps you should consider a GM charger? Ultramat 14?

I will have a look for that one.
The Icharger has the highest charge current of them all. I take it the one you have seen is the 20amp one mate.
I agree that the much-more stuff is pricey but it all seems very well made though.
There was a chap racing in Thursday night that had the much-more charger and he said it was a good bit of kit. The only thing is you then also have to buy the balancing module for the front of it and thats another £39.00.

In what way don't you 'trust' your chinese charger Darren?
I think they're all much of a muchness (no much-more pun intended). Most of the 4 button ones are the same. And many of them balance just fine too.
My very cheap HOT POWER charger from RCMart is great, it works, it was cheap, it only does 5A but I don't see any reason to want for anything more.

Polimax 6 looks like the core rc type charger. Was working ok but I thought i would check the individual cell voltage. My work tester shows one cell is over charged only buy .04 volt but still makes me wonder. The readings from the charger when in balance mode show it as ok still. It will be fine for nimh charging still but dont want to chance it with my expensive Lipos and house.  |

0.04 over isn't a big deal is it?
I think you're worrying about nothing.
