Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / February 2004Need new battery charger!
My AccuCycle + got very wet. It's garbage now and I need a replacement. I want to buy a charger that is up to the times, as in, capable of charging all types and sizes of batteries. By now is there an obvious choice in say the $3-400.00 range? Thanks, Dave Triton charger $130 Nicd's Nimh's Lead-acid Lithium -poly 0-5 amps discharges cycles not waterproof though (grin) I love mine Paul > My AccuCycle + got very wet.

The "manual" is a hoot. Cheers, Fred McClellan The House Of Balsa Dust http://home.mindspring.com/~the-plumber What he said. I love mine!

By now is there an obvious choice in say >the $3-400.00 range? Not too much above your price range is the UBA 4 from Vencon. Pretty snazzy system with PC interface, database, and analysis software. Two channels @ 2.5A each. http://www.vencon.com/ For $150 or so, the GP Triton ain't bad. I just pitched my broken Accu-Cycle Plus in the bucket and put a Triton in it's place. _much_ better device and not that much more expensive. Has a port for attaching optional thermal probes for NiMh and LiPo types. A horse of a charger is the Quad Pro Charger from Radio South. http://www.radiosouthrc.com/our_products.htm Four outputs up to 1.5A each. Has a 12V "boost" circuit to allow charging from car battery with engine off. Down side is it only handles NiCd and NiMh automagically. Cheers, Fred McClellan The House Of Balsa Dust http://home.mindspring.com/~the-plumber The Triton charger seems like a good one for electric power and maybe IC too. > My AccuCycle + got very wet.

The Triton is really the "Electrifly" Triton. Designed for e-power primarily. Handles all chemistries nicely and with reasonable power. Only limitation I've noted is the single output - one battery at a time. Cheers, Fred McClellan The House Of Balsa Dust http://home.mindspring.com/~the-plumber ...but since he's going to spend $300 - $400, he can buy three of 'em! ;-) Morris > The Triton is really the "Electrifly" Triton.
