I have the Competition Electronics PitBull charger. I have not used any of the other chargers you listed, so i cannot give a comparison, but i will say the CE PitBull is awesome. The only problem I have had with it was user error. I blew a fuse on the charger when I hooked up a battery backwards. I just went to Home Depot, and replaced the fuse for about 50cents ( with extras ). The fuse is external, so thats a huge bonus. :D

I have visited CE, and I race with Jim, they are super nice guys.

Well, the only charger that doesn't need a power supply on your list is the 16x7. I have this charger and it's a great charger, and if you put the plugs on backwords on the battery, the fuse doens't blow up, it just tell you that you had put it on backwards. And it would be much cheaper than all of them and has many great features like discharging and cycling. I recommend that you get this charger but all of those other chargers on the list are really good chargers too.

I've had the LRP Pulsar for a few eeks now, and it is a wonderful machine, the menu is simple, the action is a$$kickin' , I ve done the test with some batterypacks and my TC3 that I charged with the old Robbe Power Peak charger AND with the Pulsar and the difference was very obvious.

The price isn't that low, but it sure is worth while the deal ( or something like that)

Remember that there is a life long warranty from LRP, so whenever something is broke, just give it back to your dealer and you'll get a new one immediattely !
