Unfortunately the 610C or any of the other Lipo / Nicad chargers with 4 button interfaces are just a real pain to set up compared to the Alpha 4. Sure you can set all the options, but you are never sure you have all them correct. And it's a pain to select different things on the 610 or other si

However, the Alpha has amperage limitations that may make charging simultaneously slower than other chargers that can charge one pack at a time. The friend who replaced his Alpha got this charger - Thunder Power TP610C - 1 to 6-Cell LiPo and A123 cells, 14 NiCd/MH cells and 6-12V Pb, it can charg
