1 What lipo charger do you guys use?
Any good ones with built in power supply?
Since I'm only just starting, I guess I'm not really charging more than 2 at a time.

3 I use the D100 and am very happy with it after upgrading from a cheap 80W charger from HK (which worked well enough for a long time). I would add that the D100 charges quicker than the cheaper HK single channel charger and I had endless problems trying to find a separate PSU that could actually achieve the 80W.
My advice would be go with an integrated PSU and the dual channel will give you a lot more flexibility. The D100, I think, gives you a great package for a reasonable price.

15 Start with Imax b6 + grab a board for parallel charging (watch out for max W output (50)) so you can easily charge 2-3 batteries at the same time, if you are already past that moment go for some monster that can charge 100 or more W this will allow to charge plenty of batteries, and dim the city light all at the same time
All the best

3 I use a Turnigy Reaktor 300 Watt with HP DPS 600 power supply and parallel charging board.
This is basicly a iCharger 206B - just cheaper.
First I used a B6 ac knockoff from Hype (Hype X7 plus) 80 watts charger (which never went above 50 Watts -.-). Modifying a server power supply is not hard if you choose the right ones.
I've just finished a HP DPS 1200 x 2 supply, so 2400W @ 24,6V. Runs a little hot (even without load) but eventually I'll build myself a case for it.
