In dealing with my RMA (REO mod Acquisition) disease, I have began to ponder on some future logistical support requirements; Power. Does anyone have some suggestions on safe quality battery chargers that can hold 4-8 batteries? I stress the safety part of cost. When I used to do radio controlled helicopters, I damned near burned my garage down with a cheap charger! I currently have a Pilia, but it only hold two batteries. Also, is there any place I can get AWR (I believe that's right) at a quantity discount?

I am using an old cast iron stew pot with a heavy lid to charge batteries unattended. If something in there decides to burn, the only casualties will be a charger and the batteries.

I have an i4 too, but please be careful when stacking batteries (in a VV for example). You absolutely must check the voltage of the 18350 when you get them off the i4. The reason is that the i4 sometimes detects Li-Ion batteries with low voltage as full Ni-Cd batteries and doesn't charge them, but it will show them as full.

There is the XTar WP6 which has good reviews.
