Charger advice

[Peakey]

I'm now looking for a quad charger as my lipo stash and cars are expanding. I'm after one that will work off mains and 12v battery, and if I can get away without a psu that would be good but not a big problem if not. I've been looking and found these that seem reasonably priced

Dose anyone have either of these or can recommend something that's simmiler or the sort if thing I should be looking for.

Thanks justin

Tbh I hadn't thought of hobbyking but I'm after something I can balance 4 separate batteries at once.

Every charge is very anal I even tell Noj and Tug the same:D buy cheap buy twice.

you can parallel charge with this, just buy the board you linked to on MS

[Peakey]

I did look at this firs as there just round the corner from me but thought it was a bit under powered

Still only a 50 watt charger

I charge my 4 3s lipo on mine with a Para board,

[Peakey]

Does it display all the cells or not?

[JonyNitro]

NO, but I already said that. Think this is going in circles, just buy a quad charger

[Peakey]

That's why I wanted a quad so I can charge different batteries at once

[JonyNitro]

If your racing, its only 2s, or are you running 3s

[shaungooner]

These are top quality and reasonable price for four chargers in one with AC/DC built in

[Peakey]

For racing 2s but for when I'm out and about a mixture of 2,3 and 4s. I've already seen that one Shaun but I think it's a bit down on power

[JonyNitro]

What's your max budget.

[Peakey]

This looks very good for the price

I've not got one yet but I'm not going to spend £200+ I've just spent £170 on a new Esc

[JonyNitro]

Well for a good set up It's £300 my power supply was £185

My next charger

:woot::woot: now that's just showing off :drool: I can't really warrant £300 I could probably do £150 ish

[JonyNitro]

I'm not really sure then, all the Sky Rc stuff is ok

power supply for future reference

[Peakey]

I have seen some of. The skyrc stuff and I think this looks like the one I'm gonna go for and get a psu. The ones with the built in psu are lower wattage and more money

[JonyNitro]

Looks ok take in mind it will only charge at said rates if you supply the Voltage and Watts

says 12/18 so you need 18 volt PSU that's Max it can take

[Peakey]

I've looked at the instructions online and it states a psu of 13.8v 30a 400w so shouldn't be a problem

[JonyNitro]

so PSU

Operating voltage range: DC 11.0-18.0 Volt more volts better
