bluepoolshark35 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 So I need a new charger, ideally one that can charge 2 batteries at the same time. My main batteries are 2s 6000mah 90c so will one of these be good enough if ran on AC rather than through a PSU? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/overlander-rc-d100-ac-dc-dual-balance-charger-discharger/rc-car-products/395770 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would want something with at least 65W per channel to charge them at 1C and not stress the charger every time. You can buy 203w Xbox 360 Power supply on ebay (I use one) for £10-£15 and that way you would be able to get 100w on each channel then. More than worth it. Although if you were to do that you would be better off just getting a dedicated DC power supply for less money too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run them both off AC and I charge a pair of 3s 8000mah lipo's at 8.0a each on each charger? It doesn't throw up any errors etc?

I was just going by this on the website Two independent charging circuits (the dual 2x100W output on DC (or with power supply) and 100W can be distributed across 2 channels on AC) Maybe it is a typo? Or mislead info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo 50wx2 on AC. Waste of money. It's the same as the Skyrc D100. You want the D200 version and you'll be sweet http://www.skyrc.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=213 Edited August 25, 2016 by dazp1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
