I have tons of batteries I'm going to charge up for race days. With 3 cars I'm going to have go through about 20+ charges race day including the already juiced packs for the day. I was wondering if these little inexpensive chargers are up to the task of being nearly constantly used the whole day.

And with 2 for $33 I'd get 4 of them.

i'd go with the piranha digital,it's far better and you can adjust just about every setting you need.

only charge at 3.0 amps max on ac. if you have a power supply, you can go over that. i dont know what you like to charge at, so that may be a problem.

I'm not really looking a feature rich chargers, just some budget chargers that can get the job done, I have some high end chargers and would need a bunch of cheapos to handle the extra load, $200 or $66? I'm only going to use DC, because I'm not going to need to charge a bunch of packs at home, just in the field. I wanted to know how reliable these are, I am asking because I can find no information on them on any other threads.

I have one and I've charged as many as 5 in a row with it and never had a problem so far. Not a bad charger for the price, but if you want to be competitive, I'd say go for a better charger.
