stretch Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Yeah as easy as single ones really just need to swith between channels. Check channel outputs ie 100w per channel or 200w total etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kef construction Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Cheers for quick replys I get 200w that's total? Then it will split to 2 100w? Or charge one at 200w would that be right? Budget I was thinking £80 ish?Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Some are per channel ie 100w each and sold as 200w but you can't charge at 200w on a single channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kef construction Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Ah OK I understand that better now would 100w be ample to charge most lipos?Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 100w is what Im limited to but I have a 4x100. 100w will be just about ok. Id like more but if your budget is £80 youre gonna get the Sky RC/Overlander 2x100 one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedef Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I have the Overlander dual charger and it's only 2x100w if on a DC supply, otherwise it's a total of 100w shared on both channels. I can charge 2x 2S 5200 lipos on 1c, on 240v with no problems Edited March 4, 2017 by stonedef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The D100 versions are only 50w per channel I beleive. No good when you go 1/5th. Try 1 of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100-GoolRC-GC120AC-240W-Balance-Charger-Discharger-for-RC-Multi-Battery-N1L3-/391630822543?hash=item5b2f041c8f:g:6BwAAOSwcUBYNBnU So far so good with other Gool products There's also: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Good-Ultra-Power-UP240AC-DUO-240W-RC-Battery-Balance-Charger-Discharger-Q2W1-/311768002115?var=&hash=item4896d22e43:m:mk00_1g83snQk7PmmUNJMsQ In an ideal world you want 2 of these: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/chargers/battery-charger-dc-only.html?dir=asc&order=price&wrh=1%2C7%2C3 2 of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xbox-360-Power-Brick-203W-12V-See-Picture-For-Full-Specs-Match-Yours-/112319127138?hash=item1a26bdde62:g:YBUAAOSwax5YteyB Do the mod: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-turn-an-X-Box-360-PSU-into-a-12v-lab-PSU/ Gives you bags of power for £100 ish. Straight plug and play AC chargers are still lacking in power and waaaaaaayyyyyyy overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) These are still on offer 2 of these: https://www.robotbirds.co.uk/default/chargers-power-supply-leads/dc-only-chargers/b6-10amp-200w-super-multi-charger.html 2 of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xbox-360-Power-Brick-203W-12V-See-Picture-For-Full-Specs-Match-Yours-/112319127138?hash=item1a26bdde62:g:YBUAAOSwax5YteyB Do the mod: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-turn-an-X-Box-360-PSU-into-a-12v-lab-PSU/ You now have 2x 200w for £90 Can't knock that.
