It looks like Dynamite RC is continuing their line of affordable, feature-rich chargers with the new Passport Ultra Power DC Charger. This 150W charge power, 25W discharge power DC charger comes with Tamiya, Traxxas, Deans Ultra, EC3 and EC5 battery adaptors. It can charge up to 26 NiCD/NiMH cells, 9 cell Li-ION/LiFe batteries, and Pb batteries between 2V and 36V. It also has a USB comm link and the ability to store 10 unique battery profiles. All this is packed in an included aluminum carrying case.

MSRP is $199.99 but expect this guy to come in around $140. Head on over to Dynamite RC’s website to see more.

Check out Dynamite‘s new glow driver that runs off LiPo power.  The LiPo battery is a 1200mAh 1S, which is regulated to 1.5v output, so it should last much longer and provide more heat to the plug than a driver based on NiMH batteries.  It also features a dead plug indicator.  MSRP for the Dynamite Lipo glow driver with charger is $29.99 and it should be available in early July.  Check out Dynamite’s web site for some more info.
