both the turnigy and eco line of hobbycity chargers are fine. i actually prefer the eco line of chargers a little more due to better heatsinking and better performing fans. my main charger right now is the eco6-10 200w charger. it cost $32 in the US warehouse and it is perfectly accurate and charges any battery chemistry. i have even charged a dead 105ah car battery at 10 amps continuously for 5 hours and the charger was only lukewarm. (maybe 10F higher than ambient)
my old charger is a turnigy accucel-6 and the 50w limit got old pretty quick when charging 4-6s lipos. with my eco charger, i can charge anything at 10a except for 6s, which will still do 9a.
i also have a GT power 6-10 200w charger, but i killed the balancer when i hooked 2 3s lipos in series the wrong way and shorted out the 3rd cell resisters in the charger. now, that charger cannot balance cell #3 and cell #3 will come off that charger too high. this charger is now specifically used for non-lithium batteries.
