I have been eying these off at work for a while finally decided to grab one.

Talk about simple.

Pit Pro 550Li LiPo 1S-3S Charger

Brand - Trakpower

Price - $49

Where purchased - From Work :)

Pros:
- Simple to use, just select the battery type (preset for Lipo), charge current, cell count and press Start.
- Will charge 3S @ 5 amps
- Will charge all Lithium Chemistries (LiPo, life & Lilo)

Cons:
- Only 0.5 amp current increments, would like to be able to select 0.1amp
- Requires a 12 volt power supply
- Max 3S cell capacity, would like to be able to do 4S

For the general racer that wants a simple to use 2S/5amp LiPo charger this is great. The Charger also complies to ROAR charger specs as it charges CC/CV.

Stars out of 10 - I gave it a 8.

I thought about one of these but went with the standard swallow due to more detailed info on the screen, ie total charge input etc.. and at the same coin it was a easy choice to go for more info and pretty blue screen.

No!

Can you buy a charger and balancer anywhere in a Aussie hobby shop for 50 bucks?
