Great Planes Triton 2 DC Computer Charger
Simply a great charger. A one stop, do it all charger, for the most part. The best feature, is its ability to auto detect battery specs with the push of a single button. As long as you have selected the correct overall type of battery (nimh, nicad, etc) just hold in the button and away it goes. It also has a really nice cycle feature, allowing you to charge, discharge and generally cycle your batteries for as many rounds as you like. These settings can also be tweaked for ultra precise battery care. A great buy overall. I fly choppers and I know the guys on the thunder tiger team use them. If its good enough for them, its good enough for me. Highly recommeded. Bonus. Also, reasonably compact and able to fit easily in most transmitter cases with your other gear. No need for any other charging equipment, except a 12v battery for the field. Buy one!!!!!

Great Planes Triton 2 DC Computer Charger
This is a really nice charger. It charges basically everything from NIMH, NICD, lipo, Li ion, to pb (lead acid). It is really simple to use and even has a blue back light that makes it much easier to read in low light conditions. The one thing that surprises me, is the size. It is a lot smaller than I had pictured. It even has the options to discharge and cycle your batteries to keep them in top condition. A really great buy for what you get and I would highly recommend this to everyone.........
