Cheapest dual LiPo charger

[NitroNation]

I need a dual LiPo charger because i have 3 x 2s LiPo chargers. I have 1 imax 6 charger and basically i have to wait 3 hours. if i have an extra dual charger i can have all 3 ready in 1 hour.

does imax offer a dual charger or something. give me some advice guys.

getting the cheapest one is not always the better choice here....

well i have an imax b6 already and its been working fine for me for $22. the one thing that I'm not happy about but not sure if its normal is the 5000mah battery that i have is never charged to the full 5000. its always charged 4100-4300 range and thats it....is that normal???

Lol, how do you know if the battery is charging to 4100 MAh? I'm assuming you think you're not getting enough time out of each battery? Just check the voltage on all the cells after the charge, you should have around 3.7-4.2V on all cells.

I have that charger also, and it does not tell you how many mah its charging it to. You can't accurately judge that

mAh is not something you can measure, you have to calculate it.

there is a mah counter on the charger.....

why not just get another charger like you have now. for my stuff I have 4 chargers so I can charge packs faster... but ya need to understand those counters are only a general guide.... seems your batteries are getting a good charge so just don't obsess over the counter and enjoy runnin the truck... there are many many variables in runtime for different vehicles... while one guy may get 30 minutes you only get 20 for instance it is prolly due to driving style and other factors..... main thing is have fun and enjoy yourself....

ok youre rite....i am still looking for another dual charger because i might buy a third 3s battery. Is there something that you recommend for charging 2 LiPo batteries at the same time?
