Suggestions on Battery & Charger for 550 DFC Super Combo

[Doostur]

Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone can suggest a good charger and battery to go with my 550e DFC Super Combo.

I also have a 130x and MCP X BL so it would be nice to find a charger that will also charge those faster.

From my researching, the Glacier 35C 5300mAh 6S 22.2V LiPo is highly recommended and can be found here: http://www.buddyrc.com/glacier-35c-5300mah-6s1p.html

Doesn't that seem kind of pricey? I could be wrong... I'm use to 300 size helis and been away from the hobby for over 2 years.

I have no clue on a good charger that I will not outgrow in a year.

All input is greatly appreciated!!!!

The last charger you will ever have to buy:

I use it for my nano batteries up to my 6s-2650 batteries for my t-500. Just waiting for a case for it, and I am set.

Holy hell... it looks like an xbox and it costs more than my 550... too pricey for me haha.

See the sticky in this forum "What Charger? What Power Supply?"

For packs I'd suggest Gens Ace or Pulse Ultras, Revo Diamond, Thor... or the least expensive the blue Turnigys. All good packs.

I am using these on my Goblin and my 550... and I couldn't be happier.

I use a Cellpro PowerLab 8 to charge my batteries for my 550
It can charge 2 at a time
As for batteries you could start off with packs of cheap 45C ZIPPY or Turnigy batteries to get lots of stick time in

Then perhaps you would mind helping this poor fellow. It seems all the Hyperion fans have left him high and dry.
