Great Planes ElectriFly Triton DC Comp Peak Charger



I use a really cool charger from Great Planes. It is the Triton and you can get it at Tower Hobbies.

This little charger has been a very reliable piece of equipment in my shack. Although the instructions and spinning of the dial and button selection was a tad confusing at first.. My "big brother" had to came to the rescue and get the setting right especially if I was going to use it for charging my LiPo battery packs. Once that was configured it is almost a set and forget system. I have taken it everywhere. Used it on power supplies, small batteries as well as the van/auto battery. It just goes.

Here is the review of the Great Planes Triton from e Zone.

A couple of neat features the reviewer mentioned were the following:

One neat feature that I like is it’s 10 battery memory. This can be used for quick setting your most frequently used batteries. Another is the optional thermal probe. This will shut down the charger if the temperature you select is exceeded. I recommend using this when charging LiPo cells. What a great safety feature!
