I'm looking into getting a better/2nd charger, I definetly want one with a display that shows voltage/amps and preferable one that can charge multiple lipos at once (unless these really aren't a good idea and these types of chargers aren't recommended)

I saw the DN G2 balance charger and it looked like a good one! my question is that is says the charge current is 0.2A to 2.0A does this mean that it can't charge my FP 2500 evolite at the fastest rate? wouldn't it be 2.5A?

also, how many batteries can this charger do at once? I tried reading the description but it never really specified

and if someone knows of a better charger with what I'm looking for please let me know!

thanks!

That means that it will only charge at 2 amps max so you will be charging at under 1c every charge. That is good for the cells but bad for you cause it will be a slower charge. Personally I would get a cellpro. The new CellPro will charge at up to 4 amps and has many extra features that the DN Power doesn't. Both the CellPro and the DN power chargers are really only meant to charge one pack at a time.

BTW I LOVE ReadyHeli and would never suggest not buying the DN charger from them. He has the best price on the charger, best service and fastest shipping in the biz. I just personally would go with the CellPro.

For $150, FMADirect CellPro 4S will charge two lipos (up to 4S 4A each) at the same time.

Hint: buy two at $75 each ;-)

I just got the cellpro 4s. It is an awesome charger and is about the same price as the DN, but has more and better features. I also have to DN, which is ok, but is slower. It also doesn't tell you the mah that went back into the pack during charge.

If anyone wants a DN charger, make me an offer....

Also try the Xtrema Charger, I love it, and is loaded with features for a good price.
