Help Searching for a Charger

Post by west0618 »

Hey Guys! I have found myself now looking for a simple lipo charger. Hopefully not real expensive. Derek has two TP610c chargers and they were about $100 each. I'd like to see about getting a charger that doesn't cost quite that much and yet will charge 2S and 3S packs in less than 8 hours.

Would you guys be able to help?

This is the V2 of that charger, and its AC, so no need to buy a separate power supply.

Read the heading on the charger and it says in there AC, but it's only DC, yeah the one Lee linked is the AC version,

I spoke with Dad, briefly, about the chargers. All this was brought on because it seems that a lipo pack is going to be needed for his latest rc projects. This means that he's going to be investing a bit of "green" into a few lipo's of his own. That being said, he's obviously gonna need his own charger.

Lee...I looked at the charger that you posted and I think that will serve my Dad very well. It actually looks very very comparable to the TP chargers that I have. I'm not sure when, but I think Dad is going to order that charger. I'm sure that Dad will be happy to have a charger without the need for an external power supply.

Man I was going to suggest the newest Powerlab PL5. Its the same thing as the PL6 but only 500 watts. Its selling for 149 or 159 cant remember. It can run on one HP DPS-600PB just fine. Or you could use a deep cycle battery.
