Ok, in a previous thread I was looking for a charger that had a built in powersupply. Well I ended up winning an ebay auction for a 12v DC power supply that outputs up to 30 amps.

That should work correct?

If not I have decided to modify an ATX power supply.
Reason is it seems all in one charger/supplies only output up to 5amps and I'd like a bit more in case I use 6s batteries.

So now the 2nd question, what are decent chargers that take DC power and are under 100$?

:)
 
A 30 Amp charger should easily work with most single chargers. I can easily run my big amateur radio rig on it with headroom to spare.
 
Figured as much. The good thing is it has three different 12v outputs, so I can hook up 3 chargers in case I end up with a bunch of batteries I need charged at the same time.

Any recommendations on chargers with more than 5amp output?

I think I'd like to end up buying batteries that can charge at 2c so I can have quicker charge times. Or is this a bad idea?
