Smart charger isn't so smart.

As already said, DO NOT GO CHEAP FOR LIPO

Duratrax ICE.

NiCad - NiMh - Lipo

Can cycle, got setting memories, multiple charge methods, etc.

It requires an external PSU though. Any old 350w computer PSU will do.

I still love this baby.

Don't cheap out on a charger.
Mine was $80, and it's excellent and has never done anything bad to my batteries.

No.

A cheap charger will kill your batteries.

Airsoft isn't a cheap hobby. And n00bs wonder why we say you need more $$$ than just fronting for the gun. There is a lot of other equipment required.

I know that. But at the moment, my 50$ charger Works perfectly, Just wondering if theres another similar charger price wise that will work for 10.8V+

This is the one I'm using ATM: http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html . I use it for Ni-mh and it works great; it has a lot of options like auto cutoff, heat sensor, log recorder, discharge/recharge cycling, and a bunch of other features.

It is highly rated from the RC community. As I said, I only use it for nimh batteries, charges a 4000mAh battery which I got from Styrak in just over an hour. But according to youtube(don't know how accurate the information is) and various forums, it should work well with LiPo batteries - I can't say for sure though... The only problem is that it only uses T connectors so you'll need an adapter if you use batteries with tamiya.

Would that be able to charge a 10.8v? And are those "T" connectors Deans?

Says it charges 1-15 cells for NiCAD/NiMH, so yes.

I paid 150 $ alone for just Lipo charger and another 50 $ for regular battery and when I want to get rip of an AEG, I told buyer that both of those charger are include and the price will increase like 200 $ plus I give out like 6 Lipo battery and 2 Large battery in package as well. He refuse to take the package and said that I'm screw him up. I stop right there and decide to keep both of those charger. It's really worst to have a good charger and battery. You will never died in middle of war game.
