This review is from: Duratrax Onyx 200 AC/DC 4-7c NiMH/NiCd Sport Peak Charger (Toy)

This charger is great. it charged a 7cell 4200mah at 5amps in about 40 minutes. you can charge 4-7cell nicd and nimh at 1.5amp, 3amps, or 5amps. after plugging it in the outlet the LED blinks at 6cell, i needed to charge a 7cell so i pressed the button and it went to 7cell. pressing the button will select your desired cell #s. so at 7cell, i selected 5amps by moving the switch to the right, i plugged in the battery, and i held the button until all leds blink to indicate the beginning of the fast charge. after the blinks the LED status shows your battery status. when it reaches fully charged it sends a warning sound(beeps) and goes to trickle charge to preserve full charge. after the fast charge the battery and the charger were just warm.

This is an excellent charger. With just 2 batteries we have continuous play with our remote control rock climber. It's easy to use and very versatile. I have no cons for this charger.

This is a great basic charger!! I have 10 of these for my rental R/C trucks. Plug,Push n Go!! It's the Best 5amp charger i can find for under $50. "Only one slight problem with One after 2+ years.. Have to push the start button firmly..Big Deal ;)" Just order 5 more.
