    Question need advice on a compact simple charger for a friend.....

    A friend of mine who runs nitro and gas boats uses a flow meter powered by a small 2S lipo pack. I'm trying to help him find a SIMPLE EASY TO USE charger. He has seen my Hyperion chargers and has no interest in something so complex, can't blame him for what he needs. Does anyone make a basic inexpensive "wall wart" (plug in AC wall outlet) that will properly balance charge his pack without having to be a rocket scientist to make it operate?

    Hey Don,
    This may be as simple as it gets.

    Hey Don,
    I always have a Turnigy Accucel6 available.
    It has built in balancers and is very simple to use.
    I have actually taken it to the Bahamas with a T-mono
    because of it's small size. the best for charging all
    of my Rx packs too. It can pretty much charge anything
    and has up to a 6 amp charge rate.

    The price is right too !

    Hello! Looking for a lipo charger myself. Does this charger have an option for 'storage'? I've seen some chargers that have an option that brings it to storage levels if you're not gonna be using the battery for a while. Is 'storage' a must for lipo's? Thanks!!

    Hi...i am a new user here. I think you should go for Turnigy Accucel6.It has built in balancers and is very simple to use.
    It is also available with a T-mono and because of it's small size it is the best for charging at all for Rx packs too. It can pretty much charge anything and has up to a 6 amp charge rate.
