Racer's Edge AC DC, 4-8 Cell RC Battery Charger

Reader Reviews
This is a great peak detection charger for everyone. You can select 1 or 2amp charge levels when plugged into the AC wall outlet. If you use a DC source then it will also charge at a 4amp rate. It has peak detection and will go into an advanced trickle charge state after the pack has peaked. The light will flash and there is a beeper that will give you a small audible notification. You can then repeak the battery if it has been in the trickle charge state for awhile. It comes with a Taymia to Traxxas (TRA) adapter. I also use an adapter to mini-Taymia. I use this with 3 different batteries so far. I have a small 6 cell 900ma NiMH pack, 1500ma 6 cell NiCD pack, and a 3000ma 6 cell NiMH pack. My NiCD batteries havent been used in a long time and this charger brought them back to a very usable (but not 'fresh') state. The only downfall I have found was that I was given a 'dead' NiMH pack (900ma 6cell) that had absolutely no voltage. The charger didn't recongnize the pack when plugged in, because there was nothing to detect of course! But I couldn't manually start the charging cycle. I used an old Vision Peak (nicd only) charger to put some juice into the pack (2 minutes) and then I was able to finish up with the Racer's Edge charger. Overall I love it.
