Well I picked up the Indi yesterday. I haven't gotten a chance to really use it yet and I will post a more thorough review once I have.

The charger is VERY small considering what it is designed to do. Lightweight and very sleek in design. It has 2 built in cooling fans, with ample venting for cooling. From just a physical perspective the unit is of good quality. I wish it didn't have the cheesy sticker on the top of the charger. I think it came off an injet printer to be honest... a low quality one at that. I am currently waiting on a Rivergate Bulldog power supply to arrive(just ordered today and not in any hurry under current circumstances). I will test the unit out this weekend at the local annual race. Till then enjoy the pics.

I haven't gotten a chance to test the chargers cycling or discharging capabilities but I was most impressed with the charge feature. It's very simple to use, very intuitive and comes with a complete chart on the main batteries available right now on the market and what their peak thresholds are. It charged my matched 3000mah NiMH Sanyos(Integy) with ease. Car had PLENTY of punch, and that was at 5amps. Can't wait to put it to the test with my powers 3000's at 6amps. Great charger now to see how the rest of the features work tomorrow =)
