I have a small investment in individual transmitter batteries and recreational race packs. Half of my transmitter batteries are older and only seem to charge to 90% and hold it for three race packs.

I’d like to take generally good care of my batteries and erase their memory if possible. Would it be a good investment to buy some kind of charger\discharger\cycler?

Is there such a thing as a all-in-one [AA to subC] peak charge\discharge\cycler that is ‘affordable’?

Could you make some recommendations? All I can find are cyclers for packs and cyclers for AAs. Then, of course, there are many chargers that handle both ranges of cells but don’t condition. Maybe a combo machine that does it all for a price I can afford doesn’t exist.

Thx,

Can a ICE charge two batteries at once?
