My AccuCycle + got very wet. It's garbage now and I need a replacement. I want to buy a charger that is up to the times, as in, capable of charging all types and sizes of batteries. By now is there an obvious choice in say the $3-400.00 range?
If you are looking in the $300-$400 range take a look at the Sommer Miniron Mobil - 5 ports, Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Lithium Ion/Polymer, Lead Acid, Lithium Metal (Tadiran). 2 amp charge capability (shared over the 5 ports. Cycles/formats/tests.
Not too much above your price range is the UBA 4 from Vencon. Pretty snazzy system with PC interface, database, and analysis software. Two channels @ 2.5A each.

For $150 or so, the GP Triton ain't bad.
I just pitched my broken Accu-Cycle Plus in the bucket and put a Triton in it's place. _much_ better device and not that much more expensive. Has a port for attaching optional thermal probes for NiMh and LiPo types.
A horse of a charger is the Quad Pro Charger from Radio South.

outputs up to 1.5A each. Has a 12V "boost" circuit to allow charging from car battery with engine off. Down side is it only handles NiCd and NiMh automagically.
