Balance Charger - best ?
Hi
Ant top tips for a really good balance charger - that balances properly. I have the £200 Elan double jobbie - but it takes ages to balance - or doesn't - not impressed. Think I need to be looking at non RC - Car (all show and no substance) chargers - so please only recommend something you know works well - not the one with the most shiny buttons

Lrp Quadra competition charger v1 but you need to buy the balance lead separately. Comes with usb charging socket, small compact and is mains powered but believe it can use 12v as well but never tried, if so youll need the adaptors to do. Runs faultlessly with me, simple to use and batts are looked after using this. Does numerous things as well, wont buy anything else

Think you need to be running through the specifications of the various chargers.
How much balance current do they *actually* provide. (Think mine is 0.8A, the other, cheapo charger is 0.2A from memory) Ages to balance might also be an indication that a) your charger is out of calibration or b) your batteries are dying.

Sometimes a charger takes ages to balance or doesn't do it at all if your lipo is old or very out of balance! Try the charger on a newer set of lipo said before binning it off. I had this problem with a set of old Orion lipos, they would take about 3hrs to balance but when I got anew set they took less than 1hr.

Andy maybe your hobbyking batteries are the issue, and perhaps you need to balance up individual cells within the packs.
