Default Battery Charger

Hay everybody,,
saw all the pics from Cabin Fever, and gotta say you guys are extremely talented,, starting to feel a little intimidated here,,lol
So I have another stupid question,, I know its kind of been asked, but I couldn't find a real definitive answer since most of the posts were kind of old..
So Ive been chomping at the bit to get started, ordered a whole bunch of stuff, and surprise I never ordered a battery charger..
The battery I bought is Duratrax Onyx NiMH 6-Cell 7.2V 5000mAh Stick Standard. What charger should I buy? I totally forgot to get one,,
I don't want to spend a lot since Ive already spent so much money,, I just want something that will get the job done, and not ruin the battery.. any thoughts?

My charger doesn't have a brand name stamped on it, but it looks & works exactly like this one. I've been using it for 5yrs now primarily for charging lipos without incident, certainly well over 1000 recharges. I have a dual out ParkFlyer that I mainly use for my NiMH packs.
