I use the Prodigy 626 I think it is. I use this ONLY because it works great at the race track to charge batteries FAST! I use 2s 100C batteries a the track in my buggy & short course truck. This charger allows me to slam EACh of the 2 batteries with 25 amps of juice. I can ONLY get away doing this because of the 100C rating on the batteries.

I didn't realize how deep the battery/charger rabbit hole was until it you posted that. It made me actually read the information that comes with the battery. It turns out I need a larger charger than I thought as the charge rate listed for my battery is 1c 10 amps on a 35c battery. The chargers I was looking at prior to this post were 6 and 7 amp models.
