Hey mr.ptrap
If you get a charger from a hobby store, get one with charge/dis-charge feature. This will make the batteries for all your guns last longer. When your done using your gun for the day you simply take out the battery and dis-charge it, that way your batteries won't get "memory". This is a problem with rechargeable batteries. If not properly dis-charged after use then next time you go to charge it, it will only charge the amount you used it last time. So over time you will never get to fully charge the battery. I have a charger with this feature and it served me well when I was racing RC cars years ago. Hope this helps you. :salute: One more thing these chargers also have a slow charge or trickle charge you should use this feature the first time you charge a new battery (24hrs trickle charge). Even a 4 hr charge is considered a fast charge and if used on a new battery could damage it. Yes I know these chargers are expensive ($90-$120) you should consider the fact that if you own more than 1 gun and they don't use the same battery you want your batteries to last a long time, because they aren't cheap either. Hope this helps anyone that reads this. :-D
