I have Robbe Ultimate for several months and cannot recommend this unit, UI
not simple enough, limitting factors in setup, and it fails to stop on one
4cell NiCd pack and a 2V Pb batt I have. Better save up a bit more and get a
Robbe Infinity2, which is the standard at the local field.

Hi!
I am the happy owner of a Sirius fieldbox charger
http://www.siriuselectronics.com/pro_ser.htm

This little charger is very good and will charge your TX and RX batteries on
the field, and at home. In the field you'll need a 12V battery, I use a
leakproof gel MotorCycle battery, at home I use a regular 12V powersupply. I
also have a Schultze charger which I use mostly for charging motorbatteries
for my Logo10, and I use it once in a to cycle my RX batteries, but after I
started to use the Sirius charger they have been in top shape and does not
seem to need a cycling session.
