Can you find some credited source stating that NPT works and is not a marketing ploy?

Read this.

many people uses this already....TLP TL-15 and has been proven quite effective including myself,

want something better then go with the best, plug in your battery and that is it, the unit will do everything for you, but it will not be cheap....

How about the DuraTrax IntelliPeak ICE DC Charger? (http://cgi.ebay.com/DuraTrax-Intelli...QQcmdZViewItem)

is it a better charger than the TLP-TL15-AC/DC Fuzzy Logic charger?

I read that the DuraTrax IntelliPeak ICE can charge battery capacity ranging from 100-9900mAh.

I have a 3600mha and a 4200mha battery, can the TLP-TL15-AC/DC Fuzzy Logic charger, charge such batteries?

Holy crap, that Systema Fuzzy Logic Charger looks awesome, but would cost a small fortune i suppose.

Well i don't think i will need all of that

I want one charger that is reliable, easy to operate and that will not f***ed up my batteries, and which could also prolong the battery's life if possible.

not sure about Duratrax, looking at it, looks decent, but I did not have time to read the specification since I am not the one purchasing a charger, in regards to your question, just look up the specification on each charger the TL15 and the IntelliPeak ICE or other kinds and get the best that suits you...the TL15 for me charges what I want to charge which are Systema's 9v -12v Battery and a few 8v to 9v NiCad 2400's .... I even do not even bother with that dial setting, just have it on the lowest possible dial setting and press start button 3 times and leave it overnight... Like I said it charged my car battery no problem...

That Systema is around 250$ here in Vancouver, Personally, I am really considering it and selling my TL-15... I like to have the best gadjets and that LCD and the silver look is pretty sweet...

I know 7 people that used the TL15 for at least 4 years now... and they praises it... that is why I got mine, but if I would do it again, during my battery charger research, I would just gotten the Systema and save myself a headaches on reading all the specification on each battery charger out there...all well live and learn...come to think about it if someone would offer me a good price for my charger, I will not hesitate and sell it and I would order the Systema within that minute...actually, nevermind, I am getting that systema now....man what am I going to do with 2 chargers now...LOL

My Airsoft guns should be arriving by next Wednesday the latest and i did not buy any charger when i ordered my guns because the cheapest charper A&A had was 35 bucks and the TLP one over $100, and i will need a charger to try the guns because it they have any problem i only have 4 days to test them.
I am still on my "quest" for my ideal charger, but I pretty close to choose one, thanks to all you guys fantastic help, however even if i order one today, it won't be here on time for me to test my airsoft guns.

So i would like to know if any of you guys know where i can get a VERY cheap charger in EDMONTON, that i can use only to test my airsfot guns when they arrive.

Do you know if Walmart or Canadian Tire sells any cheap airsoft charger that comes with the proper connector, and that i could use to charge the batteries?

Please let me know if you know any place in Edmonton, or any department store that sells such chargers

Thanks guys

Where can you order the Systema one?
Just curious: how much for your TL15?

For the ICE charger from duratrax.... you better read the manual...

I REALLY recommend the piranha Digital charger..... used it (welll 5 of them) for about a year beofre getting 5 Duratrax ICEs

Basically you can adjust every setting you want....

There is also an AUTO MODE

just plug in your batteries and it will do the rest, including NPT (that can be adjusted from 0.01% to 2% cycles), cell autodetect, temperature monitor, voltage and current control... and adjust trickle charge so the pack can stay charged forever....

You could even set it so that it charges your pack to be ready in... let's say 5 hours.... in exactly 5 hours your pack will be ready (minus a 2 min cooldown if you are using high charge rates)

Can also discharge at 10A..... and autocycle your pack up to 10 times (nobody wants that, but it can be done)

Used them since 2003... still have one (I stopped racing, so no need to have 1000$ in chargers anymore)

To Scarecrow...

Just curious...
How does your charger decide if the pack connected is made from mini (2/3A) or from sub-C cells... best guess would be internal res... but still I have racing grade 2/3A packs that have lower res than most sub-C packs

[Kos-Mos]

go to The Source (formerly Radio Shack) and buy any 4-5 hours charger for 9.6v packs.... it will work for the time being... I don't recommend using that for more than 2-3 charges as it might damage your packs... can get one for 15$

Kos-Mos, do you know how the TLP TL15 compare with the Duratrax Intellipeak ICE?

I've read the specifications from both, but I don't really understand them

I will be able to get either one for a similar price.

I also checked the piranha Digital charger you mentioned and it seems a pretty nice charger, but I would rather spend an extra 50, 60 bucks now and get a top of the line charger, than having to buy it later.

So please let me know if you have any experience with the TLP TL15 or any TLP when compared to the Duratrax Intellipeak ICE.

(I am pretty close to pull the triger on either the TLP TL15 or the Duratrax Intellipeak ICE)
