Received my new e-station BC-6 in the mail a couple days ago. Oh my lord is the thing the greatest charger I've ever seen. It can balance charge, balance discharge, fast charge, cycle.... and it's A123(new lipos coming out) ready I believe. You can actually watch the charge on each individual cell right on the lcd screen during charge or discharge. There is a usb adaptor and software available for this thing too. It's so easy to use it's insane. Oh, and it takes 12V OR 110V right from the wall. It's only limitation is it's 5A output. For the t-rex (or mini elec) flyer this thing is the flat out the BEST thing you could buy. $300 for a 1010c and balancer, or one of these for $170. Charges up to 6 lipo cells and also does NiCd and NiMH. The price is STELLAR.

They also have the BC-8 for larger batteries. This one comes w/ the software and USB.

Or for the whoppers, they have the 902, it does not balance, but an amazing charger. 2 Ports and up to 9.9A. Bantam makes balancers as well for use w/ a charger only.

These guys make smaller charger only units, balance only units, and the prices are simply amazing. The quality of build is fantastic, it feels like a german car. 1-5 cell lipo chargers at $79, come on..... 6 cell balancer for $50, and you can link it to another one of the same unit to balance 12 cells for $100.
No one has asked me to make this post. I actually didn't even buy mine from rcaccessory.com. I bought mine from deetee due to the great reputation they have and my purchase experience with them. They ship FAST and cheap. I haven't used the BC-8 or 902, but I can tell you first hand that BC-6 is the greatest thing since sliced breat, no power supply needed. I was told by more than 3 places they can't keep these things on the shelf. Mine was the last one deetee had......
I highly recommend these products. If anyone is considering purchasing one and has any questions, please feel free to PM me.... Happy to answer any questions about a product that treats me well.
