I was looking for something a bit more basic really, like I don't think I'm going to have 2 packs maybe something like this?

I don't know anything about the one you linked. This Orion one has a lot of features for the money, I'm yet to see one though.

The Trakpower charger I have is cheap and cheerful for £35, don't know where they're in stock though, maybe Trakpower have new chargers in the line too.

Microtechracing also have some Etronix chargers for low prices.

Have you changed from those funny connectors you were using James? If not now would be a good time to ditch them and go to Deans or Corallys (spelt wrong) or both.

Hasn't the charger got crocodile clips? If they're the same as mine they should clip onto the TrakPower pack fine.
