New charger help

[nitros]

I was about to buy a used Heli with a charger but the deal drop! So now I'm with my rappy but my old charger is gone so I need to buy a new charger.
Any suggestion for a good charger futureproof to keep me going bare in mind that I (hope) to move to electric any time soon so something that I will be able to keep for few years.

Thanks in advance

Hyperion make nice ones. I have the 730 with a 600w power supply. Good for the ££££ i think

The Cellpro gang will be along soon!

All that you will ever need will be the Cellpro Powerlab 8

For more of a budget.. I dont think you will go too wrong with an ICharger.. whether it be a 206b, 208b, 306b etc

I have just got an icharger 306b from Electricwingman. Great charger so far and will charge all I will ever need. 6x 5000mah 6s at once, as well as my nimh, lifi and any thing else

Thanks for the help. I was looking on the net and I saw some with the Ac/dc option. Any suggestion which one is the best with this function?

Ps my power supply is in Italy so I will use straight away!

Do you charge them in paraller?

[Martind]

Yes charged in parallel, did 5x 5000mah in 40mins from storage state at 1c. Seems to be a very nice charger.
The problem with a charger with mains power built in is there only a low wattage, so cant charge that fast.

So I will manage 6x 6s 5000mah in roughly 1 hour? ( sorry all the question) which psu you using?

1 quest with this one Robbe 8563 - Power Peak Twin EQ-BID 1000W how many 6s packs I can parallel charge?

Thanks

I would say 3 on each chanel. Heres a good link to get your head around things Electric RC info, how-tos and such - TJinTech
I'am using two server psu to give 24v and 1600w, there are plenty of trends going around on how to modd them.

Each one will draw something like 125 watts at 1C. (5 amps X roughly 25.0 volts for a 6s 5000mah pack)

It does say 2x 500w so actually I can put 4 packs x channel?

That is just over the 500w mark, you have to factor in the power loss as well ? or just charge at just less then 1c
