Hi Chaps
I'm looking for a smart charger for the 7c.Any recommendations ?

I use a Hobbyking 4B6 charger, with their 500W power supply.

It's effectively four B6 type chargers in one box, which I bought as I had multiple transmitter receiver batteries to charge.

I don't know who originated the B6 style charger but YouTube is full of people complaining that fake ones have ruined their batteries, so I went with a Hobbyking badged one in the hope that they value their online reputation and wouldn't sell faked ones

It will do NiCad, NiMh and LiPo batteries, and will charge, discharge and balance depending on need. The PSU fans are quite noisy and are temperature controlled, so switch on and off at random. The noise is a little annoying in the workshop but it's a handy reminder the charger is on, as I don't like to leave it unattended.

You do have to take the batteries out of the transmitter to charge them but I don't think that's a bad idea either.

Adrian.
