Default Lipo charger???

Hey guys,
I have had my belt cp for 2 weeks now and love it. I can all ready do tail in hovering, and have started playing around with forward flight and side to side flight. The one thing that is really annoying is waiting on the stock charger. I know that i will not be able to progress as fast as i would like having the wait 4 hours for a fully charged battery! So i'm in the market for a new charger. My price range is under $40 for everything. Dose not have to be a balanced charger (will borrow friends blinky ever 20 or so charges). Any suggestions?

Right now im looking at this charger with a cop. power supply for indoor use:

Thank you,

I'm not familiar with it but if it charges at 3.0 amps it should do the job. I'm nice to my liPos, I never charge them at over 1.5 amps.

I reccomend the cellpro 4s, pay now or pay later seems to be a pretty good bit of advice.

you can have a cellpro for 70 bucks or so, maybe less if you catch it on sale. Balances and will charge with plenty of options. I would save up a while longer and go that route, it is an inexpensive charger but one that can last with you for quite some time.

IMO if you get a 40 dollar charger, you won't really be much better off than you are now.

I'll second that. The Cellpro 4s is hard to beat, just be sure you get the right adapter for it to use anything other than a cellpro battery.
