Can you get your hands on a dynamite prophet sport duo in Australia? I'm in the US and I got it for $87 dual charge 50w per channel or if you plan to get bigger and faster rcs that run on 6s @Jerry-rigged can show you some (needs more than 50w per channel
 
I've been looking on the net and looks like no aussie sellers out thr, is thr anything else similar to it?
Ok I checked the AU's eBay site and I guess they sell them for more...I'm unsure what they have over there @mrbelloso may be able to help
sorry man, it is just that I'm completely clueless about the stuff over there and availability
 
If you are in Aussie - I would say got to Hobby king. If you want a 50w charger with several channels, they sell a knockoff of the old version of the Hitec x4. Or if you want a decent single channel charger, look at the IMAX charger.

For that 4-channel charger, it is DC only. However, seeing as it is 200w max total, it could easly be powered off an old PC power supply - Converting them to provide 12v for a charger is pretty easy. If you are interested, post up, and I will give instructions.

The Dynamite chargers are OK, but even here in the USA, there are better chargers for the same money.
 
For the record, I have the UP100AC Duo and love it, but it only cost me appx $90 USD of Amazon. Not the $150 the OP linked to...
 
That Ultra power charger has come up on a few threads now.. I was looking at the UP stuff on Amazon, and came across this Ultra Power charger - 2 channel, 12A/120W per channel, AC/DC. $106 with Amazon Prime free shipping. Looks very interesting. 120W per channel would let you charge 2 6s 5000mah packs at 1C - not bad for a $100 charger! I wonder if the OP can get this one in Australia...

I payed $99 for my Prophet Sport Duo, and it is half the charger, and not nearly enough power now that I am running mostly 4s. I may sell my PSD and buy one of those...

I see the up120ac duo is rated at 110v -220v , we run 240v in Australia will it still work without any problems?
On that link says 240v but..

220/240V is the same thing Max, we use the same voltage. If a unit is marked as being 110-220V, that usually means that there is a switch of some sort on the unit allowing you to change the settings for the supply voltage.
