Another vote for the Gen Ace cells.

I've got 4 packs of the 4800 saddles which I share with my son - had them since around January. I run a 7.5T motor in my 2WD and never used more than about 1800mahs out of them on a 5 min run so if you want to use them them for two runs not a problem although we always tend to top them up between runs. At the price I really do not think you can go wrong.

The charger you have picked out is a fairly generic and basic model that is sold under a variety of brand names - I imagine there is a factory somewhere out in the Far East knocking out 1000's of them every week in various colours and logos. I've got one to charge my transmitter batteries (about once a month) and also bought my Dad one to charge his r/c plane batteries and we have both had them for over a year and no problems. It's £20 so its going to go one way or the other - it'll last forever or it will break after 3 weeks and you'll swear and buy a better quality one!! Given its retail price in this country you wonder how much quality control can go into it given it can't cost more than a couple of £ to manufacture??
