    I use a Kong Power charger; bought from fire-support.co.uk for about £60 if I recall.

    Here's my review

    and the discussion thread

    I use it to charge a variety of NiMH & LiPo batteries, from small 8,4v minis and small 450 MaH LiPos to NiMh & LiPo batteries over 4000 mah. It requires a little programming to give the battery type, cell count, and the charge rate you want to shunt through it, allowing you to trickle charge or fast charge.

    IMAX B6. Search on ebay, make sure you're getting a real one, works with any battery I've been able to throw at it. Probably quite similarly to the kong power one.

    gerro can you please specify which IMAX B6 you got ? there is one with the power adapter build in and eu plug and one with power adapter seperate and well atleast from the site i found em at good price us plug which is not a biggie.

    Build-in version

    External version

    id prefer the build in adapter despite the 15 euro dif in price but i ve read it has caused issues to people.

    hmm apparently the prices are not that good cause in ebay they sell way cheaper...
