budget? and what exactly do you mean by quick charger. In order to keep the life of the batteries long you should be charging at 1C which is always going to be 1 hour or so. There is no 15 minute quick charge unless you go A123.

I got the Onyx 230 because it's AC/DC, plus it charges all types of batteries - LiPos and Nimh, as well as A123's (LiFe). But it doesn't include a balancer. I'm thinking about returning it and getting a Turnigy 6 which includes a balancer, and with a power supply it would still be cheaper than the $80 I paid for the 230.
