Re: (help)battery chargers
holy battery charger markup batman!

thanks guys!
but what's with the huge price jump from the single chargers to the mutiple chargers??
the single battery chargers I was looking at were about $30-$50 which turns out to be $300 max for 6 batteries....

the cheapest I can find the Autometer buspro-600s is for $486.. 62% more than the singles!

anything I'm missing here? cause it seems that if you are willing to waste some space you are getting not only a better price, but also an option to spread them out (3 in the gym, 3 in the lab...)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
