Hyperion DUO

Hyperion is an excellent choice. At the time I chose the Bantam E-Station BC6DC as everyone copies them and their charging menu/logic. They also have 10 memory profiles which is very handy! Also, 5 years running and not one issue.

They are hard to find and have been updated to a new model.

I've been using the icharger 106b+ for the past few years now, very accurate. Would like to get the 208B when I complete my next build that will use 2p 6S but the new Hyperion Super Duo3 looks very inviting also hmmmm.

I've bought the Hitec X4 and have found it to be pretty good. It can balance charge 4x 2-6s lipo's at a time up to 6000mAh. It is only 50w per channel so it takes about 130 minutes to fully charge a 6s 5000mAh but I recon this is not too bad when you average it out when charging 4 batteries. It's 12 volt but you can get a good cheap power supply from HK for less than 40 bucks.

I have 2 of these and no problems so far! Cheap AC/DC and easy to use.

Hyperion Duo. Going on 5 years. I have 3 of them. Would love to have the latest version, but can't really justify it. The old ones still work great.

FMA PL 8, amazing charger!!
Guys I got me a new charger today...I went in wanting the Hyperion duo3..Instead I got the Team Orion Twin Spec charger..Its like 2 chargers in 1..It has 15 memory programming for each pack, 20a charge rate for each pack,10a discharge rate on each pack, and I got it from my LHS for 190$ !!!!!!!!! Seems this is a better deal than the Hyperion...
I must say..Im very impressed with it so far...
20a into each pack...20 on one side and 20 on the other..I like having the discharge feature..In case something happens and I charge all my packs I can discharge them down to storage volts..A 10a disch rate at that! Normally their 240$ but I know the owner and I got it for 190$..For real..I like it..Its a nice and heavy charger too..That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside..
