This review is from: DuraTrax DTXP4240 Onyx 240 AC/DC Dual Charger w/LCD
After waiting over 2 hours for each battery charge, it was nice being able to charge 2 simultaneously in less than 40 minutes. This will obviously depend on the number of cells and MAH and run down of the battery.
Using a power outlet (Dead to Full Charge):
6 cell 1800 MAH takes under 25 Minutes
6 cell 3300 MAH takes around 35 Minutes
Let batteries cool off before charging

Audible alarm notifies you when the battery is at full charge. LCD Data Screens tell you how long the Battery has been charging and How many MAH the battery is currently at. Dual power source is nice also... plug into a normal outlet with no transformer needed or connect to a 12 volt Battery
(Car Battery). The charger was set up with Tamiya Plugs (Square and Half Circle) so you might need an adapter, I did not need an adapter. It also has additional plug ins for RX batteries.

I have heard, but on this topic I am not an expert, that this charger will only charge 1 Lipo...Read more

I use this charger alot, and it works perfect. Make sure to read the instructions so you set the voltage to match the battery you are charging.
The only downside of this charger is every time I unplug it I have to reset the battery types and voltage of the charge.
I would buy and am buying another (to charge 4 batteries at once).

This is a great charger. It charges batteries that usually take several hours in 15-20 minutes! Easy to use once you figure it out, and you have lots of different charging options. Plus, you can charge 2 at once, which is really handy for airsoft or RC cars or whatever you have.
