Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras - View Single Post - WTBorrow: Peak battery charger/cycler (RC Car geeks read this!)

I am cycling/conditioning the SCCA radio batteries and am about to get a bunch of "used" ones donated to do the same with. Unfortunately the Motorola single and gang chargers suck!!! They are ultra slow and do a crappy job of consistently charging the packs to anywhere near a full charge.

I jury rigged my Astro-Flight digital peak charger for my RC car battery packs into one of the single chargers and it is working great, but if somebody has another decent 4 cell NiMH compatible peak charger with a 1-1.5A or adjustable output I would love to borrow it. A discharging/cycling one would just be gravy...

I probably need it for a week or so unless you want to donate it to the club.
