    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    I wondered what you were charging with that. Do you do parallel charging or just a lot of C into 2 packs at a time? I don't understand how parallel charging is safe, but seems it's done a lot with high amperage chargers. With my charger and 9000mah packs, 1C per port is about all it can do, so...

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    That's pretty hard core! You run 110 or 220? Guessing the enclosure is vented with fans?

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    $130 + $120. A bit more than I paid for the dynamite. I ran across a Chinese 4x200/4x20A charger last week. Couldn't find anything like it in the US. I think it was around $370. Found it again... now that I'm reading it, it's also 10A per output...

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    There are a few that look similar. Does your hitec do 100w x 4 and 10A x 4? The only one I saw was the X4 AC which is a 4 x 50w. Dynamite has one like that too: http://www.dynamiterc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=DYNC2040

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    Yeah, that return took a few emails. They wanted to refund me partial to keep them. I would have accepted if I had anything else to run them in. I mean, I wasn't out that much money, $50 out of pocket since I had a $20 ebay bucks certificate. I was taking a gamble on the quality as it was. I...

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    So far, so good. Only used it 3 times. The weather has been awful around here since I got it. I finally did use it to top off two SMC 9000mah packs I got to replace a set of Floreon ones I got off ebay that didn't fit in my truck. Luckily, they did give me a full refund with shipping costs...

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    I ended up going with the DYNC2050 10A X 4 / 100W x 4. What stinks is that it's been too cold since I got it to use it. I did use it to charge my micro-t/high roller 2s lipo though. I bought some balance board extensions because the boards just aren't long enough to make it easy to use...

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    I'm leaning towards the Dynamite one for the same reason.

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    Thanks for that. Wish he had talked about pack/cell peak voltage (4.2V per cell) a bit earlier so the stuff made a bit more sense vs just appearing to pull the voltage value out of thin air. Even then, he did it as a sum for a 3S pack (12.6V). So, with that math: Cell peak voltage: 4.2V...

    What's everyone using to charge high capacity lipo's?

    Well, having charged my SMC 9000mah packs 3 times so far on the traxxas dual peak plus id, I'm looking into getting a charger that has a readout that actually tells me something useful about what's going on. Since I intend on running packs of this size, from what I understand, lipo charge rates...
