I need one so I can use 2 chargers at the same time.

I have had this one but just sold it and it was too big (http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11986)

I have 5200 lipos so it will have to be at least 12A

I have seen thess ones:

No1 (http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9205)
No2 (http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=16534)
No3 (http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=13765) im most keen on this one

anyone have it?
recommended?

Any other tips

Im pretty keen on getting this (http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10327)but think its a little big

I have just seen this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12V-30A-360W-Power-Supply-Mega-Power-Hyperion-Charger-/330523316965?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf4b992e5) which I think I will end up getting if no one comes up with a better one. I could hook up 4 chargers to this one

That last one looks like you have to wire the 240volts into the terminals on the one end. I'd say it's designed as an internal power supply for something. It wouldn't be safe having 240V connections there like that for your fingers to touch!

Are we looking at the same item :eh?:
the last one states kettle lead
which is a common pc type connector
the other end is 12volt

It is sold with a charger in another package

this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Combo-CB0320-IMAX-B6-Charger-I-POWER-Power-Supply-/130448185858?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item1e5f515a02)

so I think that it should be ok but I would like to have seen a door or flap or something that could protect it a little more... I did buy it so Ill look at making something myself if there is any risk that they are too exposed
