I was charging my stock receiver battery pack last night and fried it. I ordered a new one [ LOSB9915 ]. Could anyone recomend a good charger and give me some advice on how long i should charge the battery, how many amps The battery i ordered is a 1400 mAh, 6 volt 5 cell NiMH with a BEC Connecter.

I charge at 1amp per 1000mah; for that pack I'd do 1.4a and it would take approximately 1 hour. What is your budget for a charger? I have been using the Hyperion 606i and really like it (can charge just about any type of cell and is AC/DC).

I would put $50.00, $75.00 in a good charger. Could you give me a link too the site where you bought your"s. Thanks for the great advice.

This (http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_221_116/products_id/26108/n/DuraTrax-Onyx-230-AC-DC-Advanced-Charger-w-LCD-Display) is probably the most versatile charger in that price range. If I cant find items locally I typically use A-main Hobbies (www.amainhobbies.com) because they have a pretty good selection and have taken care of me over the years.

Thanks madweaz. The DuraTrax Onyx 230 should do the trick.:D
