What would be a good charger that would also charge lipo packs?
Also is it nessasary to discharge batteries before recharging

I have heard the duratrax ICE charger is good. I don't have any experience with it, but I do have a piranha charger and that works great.

pirannaha wont do lipos the ice is great i have the one just below it red and silver cant remember the name tho

anyone use the mrc superbrain 977 or 989.
The ice charger i believe its only a DC. Im looking for ac/dc

the 977 is great, it will do lipo, and it will do 2 packs at the same time
it is DC but comes with a power supply

red/silver = Triton
