    Was thinking about getting lipo battery's for my wraith. I was wondering if I can get a charger that can charge my little heli battery's as well as the big ones for the wraith?

    Check out hobbypartz.com they have a lot of different chargers at really good prices. I know that there are several chargers that will pretty much charge any RC battery you've got. (at a price, of course). Just be sure to really read all of the specs and know the capabilities of the charger.

    Duratrax and a few other companies make a 2 channel charger that will charge two batteries at the same time. Lipo LiFe NiCd NiMH etc. Those run upwards of 100 bucks usually though.

    its so all the cells are charged at the same rate, this is important for LiPo batteries
