Do you use Spektrum Smart battery only?  If so, you are limited to their Spektrum Smart Lipo charger. 
I currently use this one for my Smart lipo : https://www.spektrumrc.com/product/s155-g2-1x55w-ac-smart-charger/SPMXC2050.html

For others connector (XT60/XT90/Dean etc), I like Hota lipo chargers.  For example this one : https://rotorgeeks.com/hota-s6-ac-dc-dual-charger

Hello Brent, I've been using a Turnigy Accucell 6 charger for years. It's still available and is easy to use and isn't expensive..about $55 at Amazon.ca. You'll need an AC/DC power supply capable of 12 - 17 volts DC output at 4 or 5 amps to power the Turnigy. Also works from a car battery and comes with a variety of connectors. Use Google or YouTube to check it out. Cheers, Alan
