 |  Triton2 or BC-5
I'm fairly new to electrics and needed to get a good charger for Lipos and also something that will work for my NiCds. What are you guy's thoughts on either charger, the Triton2 or the E-station BC5? Is one better then the other? Also I'm going to be using some Xpower Lipo's do I need to get specific wiring connectors for either charger to charge them? If you guys could let me know what one you think would best suit my needs, that would be great. Thanks Edge540 Freak |

I personally am waiting for another charger myself..... I want one that remembers the cycle information for my NIMH packs..... I am waiting for the new Triton to release next month i believe, acording to towers website.... This one will at least be able to do 2 packs at once now instead of just one, that's why i decided to hold off..... I have been using the MRC Superbrains for the past couple of years now..... |

I especially like this charger for NiMH and NiCd TX and RX packs. It has an excellent end game which doesn't get packs nearly as warm as other chargers. I can charge my TX pack in-transmitter with my AccuCycle at nearly twice the rate I can with my Triton and the pack gets half as warm. And it comes with a 110v power supply! Pete | |||||||||||||||

Check out the Duratrax ICE. It's made by the same people that make the Triton except it is much better made and has about double the features. The on-charger graphing is awesome... found several bad charge leads with it. I had a Triton for some time. Tried the ICE ans immediately sold the Triton.
