<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I use these too (Hobbico makes a similar one). Found a dragging aileron servo with it. THis is another valuable component of our setup that is not mandatory for sport fliers, but should be seriously considered for competition pilots that expect 1000 flights from a plane.</font>

<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">On the theme of flight pack knowledge:-You will find it hard to to beat the feeling of the knowledge that a C-Volt digital display gives you when installed in the cockpit of your plane. The best part is that it shows what is being used when the plane is turned on. Very informative when the engine is running. Found three bad servos and a bad battery connection with this wee beastie!</font>

I know this flies in the face of all those "I'm very happy with my blinking light charger" but way too much is riding on our batteries. I had an Ace charger false peak and trash a new plane. I know others that have had similar experiences with this and other chargers. Some very well known names too.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>

The Robbe charger, Alpha 4, Triton, Dymond, or FMA SuuperNova are all computerized chargers with much more sophisticated monitoring and charging techniques. They provide LCD screens with lots of info on your battery that could not be gained if the pack false peaked. The cost of these is more than a sirius, Ace, or accucycle, but not much considering the 10x improvement in sophistication and information, and pack memory, and ability to handle LI-ion, Nimh, Nicd, and the ability to fast charge or slow charge, etc.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>

</font><font size=2 face="Arial"><br>
I recently purchased a Hobbico HydriMax NiMH 6.0V 1650mah battery for use in my Smagard. What is the best charger to use for this battery? Will either my JR NEC-222 charger, my ACE smart charger or my ACE Digipace III charger work? All of these chargers are normally used for my standard 4.8 V 1400mah NiCad batteries.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
