  • Accucel 6?

    should I buy this to replace my 5yr old Triton?
    eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

    I only have the 450 pro and I am hoping to get a few more 3s 2200 35c batteries... is this charger enough for those batteries?

        i did consider getting the adapter that lets u charge 2 x 3s batts at a time but was told it wouldnt really speed things up so i just balance charge one at a time which normally takes about 55mins on a 11.1v 2200 mah

          I have an Accucel 6 and although I am not an expert have found it to be extremely good. I also charge Trex 500 LiPos with it and have found no problems. I did buy quite a decent PSU with it from the same eBay seller.
          For the money I would recommend it without hesitation.

            Buying a decent power supply does help

              Decent power supply doesn't matter with this charger as it is 50W max, it takes a laptop charger, or search online for an imax b6 power supply, with a dc jack, as it doesn't have the standard 4mm banana plugs on it, however I use it for my 450 packs and seems fine

                    Ouch!! Just seen the addy £27.00! No way. Far to expensive, buy from Hobby king direct. Alternatively pm me I have one used three times and boxed for sale if interested?

                        oh also.. i found an LCD monitor power supply which is rated 12v 4amp
                        will this be ok to power up either the triton charger or the accucel 6?

                            ahh poop... i'll have a look around some more.
                            so, the higher the amp on the power supply, the better?
                            what about the voltage? does it need to be 12v? or higher is good as well?

                            thanks
