Its a good charger / discharger. It will charge slowly or you can put it on fast charge.

The cooling fan have been known to crap out, because they work bloody hard to keep the charger unit cool.

if you're buying a new one.. may as well future proof

i have this one.. it's wicked. Fully computer controlled. All the connectors you could ever want, Temp sensor and LiPol balancer. Heaps of settings. Has mains and 12v DC connections. Does Lipols/LiIon, NiMH, NiCad and Lead Acid batteries. It's dead simple to use and had heaps of safety features.

Thats the same one I have I have found that I only need to charge my batts for 4hrs on slow charge and I give it 2 fast charges also at 2hrs and
then 4hrs and it lastes all day.

[codls]

so you charge it for a total of like 10 hrs that seems alot.

I have a similar charger, small bats 1100mAh take maybe an hour or so on fast charge. Larger 3600mAh batts take 2-3 hours on fast.

Some of the batteries that come with the clone guns are pretty crappy quality, maybe yours was one of the bad ones.

I have a universal charger and analyzer which takes about an hour at most to top up a battery on fast charge once a week or about 2 hours if it is really run down. The big plug batteries just plugs straight into the charger. It will charge all sorts of batteries from 1.2v to 14.4v (1 to 12 cells) for nimhn & nicd and 3.6v to 14.4v (1 to 4 cells) for li-ion & li-po. Also has a heat sensor, safety timer and reverse polarity switch. Very handy. Big price tag though at $240.00
