Any advice?... After a fast 6s charger to run on mains and a generator

I';m in the market for a new LiPo charger and wondered if anyone had some advice or pointers.

I';m running dual 5000mAh 6s packs on my Hex and am happy with Parallel charging, but i';m after something that';ll do this and more quicker and with the option to run on a mains supply or a portable generator (which will be bought once power requirements are know)

Thanks :)

Previously to now a T960 on 17" props but have moved to the, slightly, smaller S900 where I';ll still be running a dual set up though more likely to be dual 4Ah packs to make life easier with regard to regs on weight.

I';ve got some silly little £50 charger at the mo that just about manages an Amp and I';m not getting any younger!!

Something like this should be easily able to cope with what you want

Not sure about using it with a generator though - unless it';s one of the better ';Pure sine wave'; ones. The cheap generators are usually quite noisy electrically so may cause problems with the charger electronics.
This is the sort of generator to get:  http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0034UNGL8?pc_redir=1409995064&robot_redir=1

Cool, and thanks for the links. I';m not inclined or really in a position to fork out hundreds on the gene'; so was considering an inline voltage regulator/smoother. I';m pretty happy with a soldering iron :)

I';ll report back my findings for the greater good!

The other alternative is to get a decent size leisure battery for field charging, that';s what I used to do and charge it up during the week with a PV panel charger.

Atlas

I had considered that one, certainly a cheaper way of carrying power around with you but i';m looking at longer stays out in no-mans lands so having a gene'; works for that too.
