Default Batteries and Chargers

Hey all,
I'm trying to upgrade my current batteries and charger. I'm looking at the DuraTrax IntelliPeak AC/DC Digital Pulse Charger and the DuraTrax Sanyo 6-Cell 1900SCR Flat Standard batteries. This seemed to be the charger that had it all with an excellent price. If anybody knows anything about this or other chargers that they would like to recommend please respond. I'm looking for an AC peak charger with discharge and choice of NiCD or NiMH batteries. I also thought the Sanyo 1900 batteries were quality as well. Are they worth it for the price or should I be looking at something else. I'm not racing but like to get the best quality when I run my cars.

Is it necessary to discharge your batteries? If so, how often?

Apparently its better for the battery when storing it...I wish I knew more about it but it seems to be a must for battery upkeep

i just ordered the digital intellipeak and it should be arriving at my LHS in a few days. For the batteries i would get a pack that has 3300mah. You will have a little bit more running time.
