Hey Chief Delphi,

We were wondering if there were any alternatives to he TETRIX battery charger that would be available in a local retail store?

Thanks,

Re: [FTC]: Alternatives to TETRIX Battery Chargers

The Tenergy Smart Universal Chargers are actually substantially better than the plain old Tetrix charger. They actually use pulse and negative pulse technology to avoid the battery overheating during fast charging and automatically shut off when they are fully charged. We use these this year and we highly recommend them...and hey, $17.90 isn't a bad price either.

Hope this helps!

Goodluck!

Re: [FTC]: Alternatives to TETRIX Battery Chargers

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you know of any cheaper types of batteries that would be legal to use in a competition?

Thanks,

Only the Tetrix Batteries are legal (Other than the Matrix System)
