I use the Core which looks very cool but takes to long to ballance

And I use the Bantam which is great for charging and ballencing but you need a separate ballancer

Click the link above then chargers on the left The Bantam is the £49.99 301DX but it is 12 volt only and you need the balencer as well as shown in the picture .........
I would go with what you have found If Ian says its ok , I know you can get them from Hong Kong on Ebay for about £30 inc postage and then arrive normally within a week

Are you sure the charger is putting out the correct current?
I bought two chargers from a major UK supplier, both had to be sent back - expected them to be replaced but got full refund instead!
One showed 5 amp charge but was actually charging at 2.5 amp, voltage was also 0.2V out. 
Second was showing correct amp on charge but was 0.6V out. 
Both where the same charger and Chinese, so beware of the cheaper chargers, luckily mine were bought in the UK, if I had to return them overseas it would have cost as much, if not more, than the chargers.
Hence I am borrowing chargers this weekend to run my Lipos (thanks guys) - as only just got the info re balancing leads on a charger that will do two packs at the same time (though independently) but the cost is a bit more  so not quite sure which way to go

I only have one set 4900s as this hopefully will be enough.
Will have 2 sets of 3200s saddles for the buggy
