Onyx 245 Dual Charger

Duratrax has just released it's newest charger... the 245 AC/DC Dual Charger.

I'm a big fan of one of their older models, the 230. It can't be beat (until now!) for it's simplicity. It charges at 6 amps from AC, and 7 amps from DC. The 245 looks like it does the same, but now it does 2 batteries at a time! Sweet! I'll definitely be picking up one of these. It looks like it sells anywhere from $120 to $170.
