A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to become the owner of one of the new Orbit Pocketlader chargers. They were just introduced so they are still arriving in the US.
The Pocketlader is the perfect field charger. It is small in size with Dimensions of: 4"x2 5/8"x1 and comes with a backlit screen that is very visible in both day and night. The pocketlader comes in a high quality all metal case which acts to dissipate any heat that builds up during the charging/discharging process. In addition to its technical specs, which are outstanding for 125.00, the Pocketlader offers the user the ability to upgrade the firmware via the internet. This means the charger will be able to provide service well into the future. Please view the specs and photos below for additional information.
The Orbit Pocketlader may be purchased from www.radicalrc.com but beware that due to the initial popularity it will probably take 3-4 weeks before you will receive your shipment. Dave Thacker has told me that the shipments are sold as soon as they are arriving, so get your name on the list......
