    Pro-peak delta-peak chargers are pretty wicked. I haven't found a better one since I started using it. Covers Ni-Cd and Ni-MH in trickle and fast charge with auto cut off. Niftily, when the auto cut off is triggered, an alarm sounds briefly and the charger then switches to "maintenance mode" where it'll top up the battery with a low current if it's left plugged on to keep it at maximum charge until you pick it up.
    Couldn't recommend it any higher.

    +1 to dex recommendation though. Although, don't get it from airsoft ware house, they are clowns. I waited a week and had to make 4 or 5 phone calls to get them to ship anything.

    I use one of the 'idiot-proof' chargers from airsoft-scotland. Cheap as chips, robust, and well .. idiot proof. Plug in battery, walk away. It'll tell you when the battery is full. Unplug battery. Plug battery into AEG. Away you go. Idiot proof.

    And I've never had an issue with it or a battery charged by it yet.

    I use a TM auto-discharger. Again, cheap as chips and idiot proof.

    Also, if you're willing to spend a few quid, the Duratrax ICE charger is fantastic. Had the good fortune to use one a while back after reading about them and I'm sold on getting one myself. At around $110 though, they're not cheap.

    Hey conor, I use the very same setup as lemming and had no issues either, and it's cheap too!

    AFAIK if your put a few small bulbs in circuit and connect em up its a cheap and easy discharger, and it tells you when its done by the room going dark :D

    Stole the idea from an RC forum
