Can anyone recommend a good charger. Something that will charge several LiPo cells from 1300mAh plus. I want something that cycles the battery to keep it in good condition and one that I can use at home and off the car battery. Cost is not a factor. Thanks

Hello,

In your shoes I would consider one of the top-of-the-range chargers from Schulze in Germany - if you are serious about "price-not-an-issue". See for example the specs on their chamäleon ISL6-530D on this link:

Robbe Power Peak Infinity '3' is supposed to be good too.

Deanoo,
You don't want to "cycle" Li-po batteries, as they don't need it. In fact, discharging them too low is usually what kills them. A better thing to do is to get a good charger that will balance the cells in the battery. Keeping the cells balanced is more important to Li-pos than other battery types. You can either get a charger with a built-in balancer, or use a external balancer such as a Astro Blinkie balance circuit board.

Yep,
That's what I've been using too, and it's a good one so far. I just wish it would charge more than 2 amps, for my bigger batteries.

Great planes poly charge does 4 batteries at once.....I use a blinky balancer and balance my batteries every two or three charges....I also got a 14 amp pyramid power supply...etronics.com for 38.00 plus shipping...
