Anyone use this? Any good? I don't remember hearing anything bad about them. I really like the option of being able to charge 2 packs at once, and I'm thinking about getting LiPo for a receiver pack. Anything else I need to switch to LiPo?

Not sure what the balancer is, but you need a lipo regulator. Lipos can put out a lot more voltage than you reciever can handle.

a balancer makes sure that each cell gets an equal distribution of the charge, and yes u need a regulator, novak makes a nice one

Well finally got it today after a week of the post office screwing around with it.

So far it is pretty good. I'll have a better review later on. The only thing I don't like about it now is every different battery you charge you have to change the settings, (no memory) and the fan on the charger is pretty loud.
