Which Balance Charger to get?

[mahojazz]

Hi all, have been reading all the threads regarding gd n bads of different charger. Initial bet was on the Imax B6 balance charger. But then, found thread on other forum saying the balance voltage is not gd. So i am back to zero again. Have visited some local hobby website, but cant decide which is gd. Some charger needs external balancer like the hyperion chargers with LBA10 while others are incorporated (Imax). So in terms of voltage balance, is an incorporated one better or a seperate balancer better?
Another charger in my consideration is the Mega power Poseidon-860DS Balancer Charger. Any user wan to comment on this? Thanks all.

how much do you want to spend? if its any amount ... go for the Hyperion 1210i and the TP210 balancer

Why dun go for both Hyperion? i mean the balancer and charger.

You tried 1210i with niMH/niCad battery? Does it false peak often? That's my main concern, i use my ICE charger and it false peak my old Nickel cell very often

think balancers brands are the same... cause my trusted TP210 failed on me..
and I ended up with a B5.

The TP210 could have caused several of my batts to bloat.. I only notice the TP210 was not balancing right after I saw it keep draining the same batt across all my LiPos packs. I confirmed it after I used a digital multimeter to check.

Balanced pack, plug into my spoiled TP210, it will start draining until it is unbalance. Those packs my TP210 claimed to be balanced are quite substaintially unbalanced. I threw it away. I counter check my batts with Multimeter now.

hihi, budget is ard 200 +- 10%. Hyperion charger gd?

Considering this too.
Hyperion EOS 0606i 6S 6A max CHARGER AC/DC
Like the AC/DC part, coz if i get Imax B6 + DC Supply, its gonna cost ard the same. Then Imax B6 seems not very balance in some of the thread that i have read.

I use the DN Balance Charger from JH, it's works, I believe it's a decent price too.

So far.. I haven't come across anyone else with a failed TP210 except myself.

but after that experience, I decide not to waste money buying another TP210 since it may fail too; that's why I ended with a B5, which haven't fail me so far.

my apologies.. mine was a TP205. not TP210. got the number wrong.

I think the 0610i looks good.
