  • New charger help

    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

      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!

            Cheers

                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?

                        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.

                            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
