AC power supply for a b6 charger & charging advice

[gainsy]

Hi all
I am after a 240v power supply for my imax b6 charger
Anyone got any good deals on 1? & are the 1's on ebay any good?
Also i am about to charge my new vampire 5400 60c lipo's for the first time, any advice on charging rates & what i should discharge it to would be much appreciated as i am new to lipo's
Cheers

Charge it at 1C so whatever the capacity is divided by 1000 so charge yours at 5.4 amps. You don't need to discharge lipos and if it goes below 6v or 3v per cell it will die.

You're looking for a power supply that can offer at least 4-5 Amps at 12VDC minimum.
The ^ post nearly had it right, but you divide the figure on the battery by 1000. For the sake of argument, a 4000mAh battery is really a 4Ah battery so should be charged at 4A.
The m in the mAh means milli which is 1/1000 of an Amp.

Cheers for the advice guys :thumbsup:
Anyone know of a decent uk seller for the AC adaptor?

Should have just bought the CORE UDC40 like I suggested, it is mains and 12 volt for less than £50 (no seperate power supply required)
