So I say to my fellow freeks,,, like ahhh WOW !! I need to upgrade my battery charger and was trying to decifer all the bells and whistles of todays lipo chargers but as my head begain to swell and this green stuff started ooozing from my left ear,, I thought perhaps I should just ask who was using what and save me from eany permenet damadge to my alrady throbing brain... I would like something duel power and that does not require a separate power supply and well charge eany thing from 2cell to 6cell lipos... Thanks in advance and with eany luck the swelling in my head well subside and that green stuff ( well" lets just say,, I have other uses for that)......

This is the latest from Thunder Power.

This is what I use.

As for a charger that doesn't require a power supply, not sure. I use a pretty nice power supply for charging at home and a marine deep cycle battery for the field.

I just got a pair of the Bantam B6 Dual chargers, and they are great!

You don't need a separate power supply for this unit, it uses both an AC (110-240 VAC) or DC (11-18 VDC) source.

BC6 has an individual-cell-voltage balancer inside. So it does not need any balancer separately when charging Lithium batteries (LiIo/LiPo/LiFe) for cell voltage balancing.

BC6 can charge up to 16 cells of NiCd/NiMH and 6S of Lithium batteries.

Optional Dual Balance Board allows 2 3S Li-Po or 3 2S Li-Po to be serial charged together.
This allows to me to charge 4 3S Lipos at once, in about 1 hour, with my two B6 chargers. :happyd
