Schulze: isl 6-330d

Schulze is well respected internationally for producing efficient, reliable, top-of-the-line chargers for electric flight. But the recent growth of the park-flyer segment convinced the folks at Schulze that the market was primed for a state-of-the-art charger for beginners. That might sound like a contradiction, but the features offered on the new isl 6-330d (version 8, if you're counting) will convince you that the description is appropriate. The unit is fully automatic but allows the user to specify a maximum charge-quantity setting for added safety with lithium cells. It also has a second set of outputs for charging your radio gear. The primary output can handle 1 to 30 Ni-Cd or NiMH cells, 1 to 19 lead-acid or gel cells, and 1 to 13 cells of any of the three lithium types: Li-metal, Li-ion, or Li-poly. This makes it among the most versatile chargers on the market, and the only difficult thing about using one is remembering the alphanumeric name! Price: $179.
