Right me in the market for a new batt charger,it has got to be able to charge buggy packs up to 9.6v and lead acid batts,has got to have capacity charge left in batt when switched on and got to go to tricle when batt is full and be able to charge 2x batt at the same time suggestions would be helpfull

I doubt if you will get a charger that will deal with SLA and NmiH/Nicad packs as the charging characteristics are different.

[Ghost in the shell]

i know someone does one that does lithiums and nickels, think its triton, they may do one to suit your requirements

[Shipmate60]

I think the Robbe Ladder charger will charge both, but not sure if it meets other requirements.

My Robbe lader will charge up to 4 batteries at once, 1 sla and 3 nicad/nimh. The only restriction is the total charge current is limited, cant remember what to at the moment, will check later.

Each of the nicad/nimh points charges at a different rate. All outputs go to trickle on completion.

Robbe 8500 Charger is only one of many thats available.

Output 1: 60 mA, 4 - 8 NC/NiMH
Output 2: 60 mA, 4 - 8 NC/NiMH
Output 3: 150 mA, 4 - 8 NC/NiMH
Output 4: 150 mA, 4 - 8 NC/NiMH
Output 5: 180 mA, 4 - 8 NC/NiMH
Output 6: 600 mA, 4 - 8 NC/NiMH, or 2 - 12 Volt lead-acid.
Total max. charge current: approx. 1200 mA

Hi, No even my more expensive charger can't tell me whats in the battery  :( what it does do on the lead acid side is automatically reduce the charge rate as the battery becomes charged. The chargers available at present is vast ranging from as little as £15 for a multi-charger going up to £100's for an all singing dancing one.

The BMI chargers are very good. I have the digi peak 14 AC \ DC. Chargers a range of multiple cells. You can use it indoors and outdoors.

The new digi peak 4 in one just about does everything and you'll find it on sale for less than the £100 shown.

Worth a look.

Hi there
If your looking for a cheap battery charger that will charge any voltage up to 5amps charging capacity then go for the anserman energy charger for £50 it has a digital display and all the normal peak detect and auto reverse polarity correction ect..
Hope This Helps
