remind you anything?
The ICE is way better, but again if you don't understand the specs given, you are not ready for a charger like that.
You better get the Piranha Digital...
Only reason I changed is that my new racing packs needed to be charged at least 6A.... the piranha only does up tp 5A
As for the TLP-15 (same exact thing as the Intellipeak Digital pulse) I found that it tend not to stop charging the batteries (got 2 battery explode on me, and they where not old at all)
If you want you can also check for CheckPoint brand chargers. They are apparently a division of Duratrax and do the ICE, but with some revisions. (Backlit LCD, better software, can discharge at 30A)

*edit*
All chargers come with large Tamiya style plug
The ICE also comes with alligator clips and have banana plugs on the other end so you can change the leads without having to cut wires.
So do the Team CheckPoint one.
The Piranha one had some quick attach inputs so you can also change the leads, but the lead wires tend to break after a few months, then you just have to cut, skin and twist the conductor for a few other months.
*edit2*
For the mini style plugs, you have 2 choices
1- order some extra plugs online
2- change all your plugs to Dean's Ultra and take the one inside your gun to make an adapter in case you need to borrow a pack |
I've never had a AEG gun before or used any of these chargers, so i have no experience at all with it.
Would it be possible to learn how to operate the ICE charger by reading the instructions that comes with it?
For now i will not try to use any of the more advanced feature of the charger. For now i just want to plug my battery and charge it without destroying the battery or shortening the battery's life.
Would even in that case be hard to operate the ICE charger?
Of course down the road i will read more and learn more about the features so that i can safely use them, otherwise why would i buy it.
What I DON'T want to do is to spend about $65 to $75 bucks for a Piranha or any smart chargers now and then later, after seeing that the ICE and more advanced ones are way batter with all its great features, have to spend again another $130 bucks more, whereas I could just drop another $50 extra bucks and get the ICE one.
So my main concern now is to know how hard it is to use/operate the ICE or TLP 15 one, because it will be pointless to buy the ICE and then, not being able to charge my batteries, have to get a another cheap charger
Thanks
PS: sorry guys for SO MANY noob questions, but after dropping over a $1000 on my first Airsoft AEGs, my mind is going nuts, and i can't think on anything else
This thing is sure addictive, and expensive, and you guys have been so helpful all along that questions just keep pooping up on my mind
