A quality
RC battery charger

like the MRC SuperBrain 969 above is essential for enjoying your radio control models to the max and in fact, a good charger can actually save you money by keeping your rechargeable batteries in prime condition thereby getting the most life out of them. Ensuring that the batteries are ready for use when you need them most is the job of either an A/C or D/C charger. Some of the models I recommend here even offer both power source options for convenience and the ability to recharge in the field where the action is.

The GWS MC-2002 charger is microprocessor controlled with Automatic Delta Peak detection for both Ni-Cd and Ni-MH battery packs. Input Voltage Range: DC 9.0 ~ 15.0 V Charging Current: 0.25 ~ 6.00A Continuous Battery Types: 50 mAh ~ 3000 mAh Ni-Cd or Ni-MH Cells: 4 ~ 12 Cells Protection: Output Reverse Polarity and Short Protection Maximum Charge Time: 90 Minutes with Safety Cut-off Readout: Large Scale Current Meter Cooling: Sturdy Aluminum Case with Heavy Duty Heat SinkHigh quality, simple to use and very affordable at around $45, you really can't go wrong!
When you're ready for lithium power in your models you'll need to buy an RC battery charger dedicated to lithium cells because the technology is very different from NiCd and NiMh batteries. And please don't make the mistake of trying to charge your lithiums with a standard charger because there's the very real danger of an explosion and fire!What I believe is one of the very best values in the RC battery charger field today is the
ProPeak Prodigy II.


A fully digital DC charger for under $70, its capable of doing everything that others costing 3 times as much can do, and it does it well. Whether you want to charge/discharge 1-5 cell lithium batteries, lead acid or any number of NiCd/NiMh batteries, this is an excellent buy!I hope you find what you're looking for here and if you don't then feel free to contact me by email from the Homepage or phone at 1-250-727-9793 Pacific time zone.Cheers,Steve..
