I'm looking for a good LiPo battery charger. Something semi universal as I need it to at least be able to charge 2 and 3 cell batteries from 300mAh up to 3Ah or 4Ah. At the moment, all of my batteries are 7.4v. I've looked around quite a bit and keep finding chargers that seem very sketchy after reading their descriptions and reviews. The one that sparkfun suggests has been out of stock for a while.
Can anyone suggest one that they've used and are happy with?
Thanks.

Very highly rated for price and customer service. I did a quick check and under the battery listings there are seven pages of charger products.

I fly Electric Helicopters in the 400-450 and 600 class. I have an older charger, but I am charging 11.7 V 3 cell LiPos.
The replacement for my charger is: http://www.horizonho...dID=THP610CACDC
Remember, you want a balancer. LiPos are VERY VOLATILE. If the cells get out of balance, there is a good chance that you will have a meltdown. These cells can go from room temp to over 2,000 degrees F in seconds. NEVER charge them on anything combustable. I charge them in my garage, in a fire-safe. In case of a meltdown.
