Sommer chargers will run rings around Litco. Charges 5 batteries at a time, any types and does all the other stuff like cycle, charge/discharge, etc. You plug in one battery, tell the charger the battery type and what you want to do with it e.g. charge, discharge, cycle, etc., plug into the next battery to the next port, repeat the process, etc. It remembers the type of battery each port did last so you don't have to tell it the battery type if you constantly plug say a nicad into port 1 all the time.
In truth, it doesn't charge them all simultaneously (though you can set it to do that), its real strength is it does up to 5 packs one after the other without any intervention. The only downside, you have to order from Germany but I've done so and it's no big deal. Not the cheapest chargers but if you have a lot of packs of various types, it's a great piece of hardware. You can order the charger to run on 110, 220 and 12 volts (has all the converter circuits built in). http://www.sommer-electronic.de/shop/start.html Good luck, Steve -- SteveR ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SteveR's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=7591 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=534739 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
