I have had one since just before Christmas, I bought the x2 version, seems very easy to use, does everything I want from a charger and is a nice small unit considering it's two chargers and supply all in one

I've posted this thread a last year about my Elangears ELAN X2 (http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141379), which a month or so after getting it is still fantastic. It's well worth getting the optional charge leads:
http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php/electrics/chargers/chargers-pro/ex-el-03e-balance-lead-for-elan-r-x2.html which really tidy it up as you no longer need the balance boards. I just made up a jump lead with a 2mm socket connector to link and charge saddles.

Charger has performed faultlessly. Some of my packs took a little longer to balance initially when i first got it, but they now balance up and complete much quicker. I guess they were a bit out of balance and the charger has sorted it out.

I've also seen the smaller units, including the excellent ELAN Mini: http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php/electrics/chargers/chargers-pro/el-mini-02d-elangears-acdc-elan-mini-autobalance-charger-discharger.html
Real quality units at differing price points for all pockets or needs. Get one for sure!

was considering buying the x2, as I have 4s lipos to charge for my quads as well as 2s packs for the buggies. I'm now considering the AC/DC mini at £80 - buying two of them is still a good bit cheaper than the x2, although I suppose you are loosing the portable "all-in-one" factor of the x2. Does the Mini come with a balance board ?

CHEVY, any chance you could post a real picture just to let me get an idea of size.

cheers
Raymond
