If you are asking about the Charger in the Top link I have this one and it's seem's to fuction very well and I really like alot other then the fact that it can be a pain to hook everything up to charge your pack's.
What I mean is this I don't like how the Battery's get plugged into different side's of the charger instead of them all going into the same side,the problem for me Charging this way is I use a Cookie sheet to put everything on and I can olny get half the charger on it as the Cookie sheet I use is a bit to small and it's still a really big cookie sheet.

If you are not going to Charge your packs over 5 Amp's I would really consider getting one of the HobbyKing XD-6 it's the one in the second link and it can Charge at a Max of 6 Amp's Per-Port,if I would have seen the XD-6 I would have gotten it any day over the other one as it is just going to be easier to mange hooking up my Packs and charging on a Cookie sheet or something like it without having to use to big of a Cookie sheet.With the XD-6 I will be able to just put the Charger on the counter and the Battery's on a Cookie sheet or peace of Metal and I'll be all set no fussing to get everything where it need's to go.

As for a PowerSupply it all depends if you are planning on getting more then one of these Charger's as I want to have 3 4 Port Charger's as I have alot of Battery's,and if that's the case then you are going to want something with a bit more power then if your going to charge at 5 Amp's per-pack I would talk to Robert about getting one of his HP Server PowerSupply's he Convert's and it will put out 47 Amp's witch will be enough Power to run 2 of those charger's at 5 Amp's a Pack.

Give Robert a PM and ask about his powersupply as I really don't know anything about the HobbyKing PowerSupply's other then there not very Powerful and some of the Hobby Grade one's like the TrakPower ones are very loud when compared to the HP PowerSupply Robert sell's his user name is Lipo Power,also one other thing about those Charger's I would not worry about if one will charge any better then the other as almost every charge if not all are based off the Thunder AC6 Charger as far as the user interface goes and from what I have read most of the Charger's they sell are just re-packaged from the same place with a different name and there are a few difference's like how many Amp's per-port it will put out and what S Rating of a pack it can charge.Don't forget to get extra Balance Board's and Bullet plug's and Wire to make up more charge leads as well.
