I have been flying for a year and currently fly my Swift on a 4s but want to move upto a 6s setup. I have a DN Power 4s lipo charger that is cool because it tells me the voltage of each cell and balances automatically. My other buddies use a DuraTrax IntelliPeak ICE w/a blinky which is very cool cause it tells you the "ma" input so I can stick the 80% rule. My DN power will only charge @ 2 amps and takes forever on the 3600 ma 4s. I am looking at the "E-STATION 701" but have read some negative reviews on the company that makes them.
I want to be able to to charge a 6s 5000ma battery @ 1c (or close) and be able to discharge, I also want it to charge nimh and nicad. What are some of my other options in chargers? any links to reviews would be great also.
Thanks

Thunder Power 1010C+210V ... 220W
Hyperion 1210i+LBA10 ... 180W
E-Station 902+PB6 ... 200W
E-Station PB8 ... 150W
To charge 6S at 5A you will need 130W, so all are capable.

The Bantam line is a very high quality line of products. Just search Helifreak, RCU, and RCG and you will see that. There are always people who love and hate an item.
The 701 model has been discontinued. If you have any questions on any e-Station charger, please let me know.

Bantam has a 1 year warranty on all their products. I warranty the units sold through my company, RC Acessory against defective issues for about 60 days. There have been very few defective units for this to be of concern.
