Product Description Barely three years ago, Dynamite® introduced the Vision Peak peak detection charger, which soon became one of the industry’s most popular AC/DC peak chargers. Now get ready for the new Vision Peak 2. We know you’re thinking, “Why change when the original Vision Peak is already a staple for both beginners trying out an RTR on the back pavement and serious racers depending upon it to top off their packs before the next main?” The answer is simple: we found a way to add even more features without it costing you a penny more. Updated to now safely and efficiently peak-charge Ni-MH packs along with conventional Ni-Cd’s, the Vision Peak 2 has added a third selectable rate. You can now choose to charge at 1, 2 or 4 amps, allowing you to peak-charge just about every 4- to 7-cell battery pack out there, including the 3000+ Ni-MH car packs and higher-capacity Ni-MH receiver packs that are becoming more popular. The Vision Peak 2 does this by monitoring the charge status during the entire charge process. When the battery has reached 100% charge, the charger automatically stops charging and switches to trickle charge. This protects your batteries from the dangers of overcharging, allowing you to retain maximum performance and enjoy more cycles from your batteries. Don’t think the features stop there. The very popular LED graph charge level indicator is still included—no need to improve a feature you already rave about. With one glance from across the room, you can quickly tell the stage your battery is in during the charging process. Voltmeter jacks, cell selector switch, receiver charge lead adapter, fuse protection and heavy-duty alligator clips are included. You can also quickly and easily re-peak your battery pack, ensuring you will always be ready to race.

Excellent charger June 2, 2010 Naif Alkashegri (Saudi Arabia, Yanbu) This charger is the perfect battery charge tool I every used. It charges a 3300mha 7.2v battery in just 35 minutes using 4amps. I never used 1A or 2A but I am very satisfied with 4A.
The Quality is the most thing I love in this charge.
the only bad thing is it not supporting global electricity like 220 volts.
good charger for the price (check the update) August 31, 2009 khalid (doha qatar) this is good charger for its price, it can charges a 8.4v 5000mah in about 50 min when using 4 amp.
its very easy to use.
i have one problem with it, many times i restart the charger because it giving me error and all the lights are blinking. after restarting it fine.
**Update**
i found that charger is giving false peak of the battery charge, its giving me 70% of the full charge and then the green lead goes on.
i can use my car after that for 10 to 12 min. max.
i charged the same battery with another charger and i played with it for about 25 min.
i should join the others and give only one star.
Great Charger April 2, 2009 kite6t9 I purchased this a my local hobby shop on April 1st. 2009 along with a Venom 6 cell 7.2v 3300nimh battery. I absolutely had no problems charging my battery. I just opened the box connected my battery to the charger, and plugged the charger into the electrical socket and the charging began. It allowed my to change between 1a, 2a, and 4a during the charge. I just kept it at 2 amps while keeping the cell selector switch to 6 with no problems. Took about 2+ hours to charge fully. I highly recommend this charger for anybody. The other reviewer probably had a bad unit.
Do Not Buy This Charger March 13, 2009 P. G. Keller 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I just purchased this charger yesterday and hooked it up to a 6 cell 7.2 volt 4500mAh Ni-MH battery to test it out. As the first reviewer stated, it would not charge on the 1 or 2 amp settings, only 4 amps which is a little much as most people suggest 2-3 amps.
So I let it charge at 4 amps and periodically kept an eye on it to see how it was doing and it never moved from the 0-25% bracket. One hour went by, then 2 and 3 hrs and still no movement to indicate any more charge. Then I began to fiddle with the settings that let you switch between 4-7 cell battery charging and it showed 76-100% for a 5 cell battery which it shouldn't because it's a 6 cell (the battery was new as well so it wasn't that).
So I decided to put it in my stock Super ClodBuster and run it. I got maybe 10 min. of run time before it started to slow down and eventually run out of charge. For 4500mAh battery, I should get at least 2-3 times more than that. So something here wasn't right, the battery still wasn't fully charged and now I had no way to find out how much it was charged or where to go next as none of the indicators on the charger seemed to work correctly (I did everything according to the instructions steps).
Therefore, I can only let my experience serve as a warning to others looking for a reliable charger at a reasonable price. Luckily I was able to return the charger for a refund but before they gave it to me, they tested it on they're own batteries and it did the same thing. Considering that mine had the same problems as the first reviewers and then some, I can only recommend avoiding this product.
Great charger January 25, 2009 L. Gonzalez (Cartagena, Colombia) Fast, reliable, tough, looks great, plenty of accesories.
No better purchase you can do for this price.
