Duratrax Mini-pulse AC/DC. IMO just get the DC version and a transformer or make one out of a computer psu.

Here's a good one - running it off 12v, it will charge at 5amps, on AC only 3 amps, has lots of features, reasonable price -

It can peack charg discharg cycle charg.. and its like 40 bucks at towerhobbies... Just in general look at the IntelliPeak's. I'm told they are preaty good, thats why i got one. FYI the pwersource is conected by aligater style clamps.

The mini pulse is very easy and satifies your requirements, if you want a bit more the deluxe pulse is a bit better.
