Hpi_matrix_stock Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 My varipulse charger bit of crap is starting to get on my nerves as I can't set what ampage I want it to charge at, I either have a choice of fast or slow . I want to get a new charger (or 2nd hand) but dont want to spend alot of money it doesnt need any great features just must be able to charge nimh and nicad and 7-8 cells. What one should I get?

Samari Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 With the Pro-Peak Varipulse 2500VP you can set the ampage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I used to have the Varipulse 2500 Samari suggested and it charged my 7 cell 3300 NIMH batteries great! No problems at all. Worth the money. I have a Great Planes Triton now, that can do 24 cells upto 6000mah a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waz Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Superbrain 959 is okay. Cost me about 25 shipped from the USA with a free batt. LED display, variable MV, variable ampage, able to handle 8 cells. But remember you get what you pay for. I only use that charger for hump packs, it's good but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waz Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Tends to overheat if you charge loads of batts in a row so you should keep a fan on it, can charge one batt at a time, no li-po, no discharge, no current reading, ect however you can't complain for 20 quid!

Could you give me a link to where I can get it please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I think you can only buy it from the U.S. If this is not a problem then here it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Sorry that's the 969 that I linked to. However I would buy that as it's meant to be alot better than the 959. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waz Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) Yea the 969 is much better. You'd need a heavy duty converter to convert UK to US, ie, 240V at 50hz to 120V at 40-60hz. Could always use a batt to connect it to. Thanks Edited June 6, 2005 by waz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
