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?
Thanks, Dave
Triton charger $130 Nicd's Nimh's Lead-acid Lithium -poly
0-5 amps discharges cycles not waterproof though (grin) I love minePaul
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.

What about Ace Super Digipace 3? is ii a good charger?
replacement.
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.
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.

Includes free lessons in fathoming gibberish, too. The "manual" is a hoot.

OK for Ni-Cd and Ni-MH but very limited in scope. TX and Rx battery only - slow charge.

The Triton charger seems like a good one for electric power and maybe IC too.
What he said. I love mine!
