I have an 1100W 44A 24V PSU. Should I get a Powerlab6 or an iCharger 306b and why is the one you picked better than the other choice in your opinion?
 
I went with the pl8 and mpa board, I got a better deal than I could find than the pl6. The reason i went with this is that there is a power lab section at rcgroups. Any questions just ask on there and it's answered, I never found the iCharger forum.Also if you go to the reveltrix site you can download software to try out and practice with it. Got mine today just waiting for the lead to connect to psu and the usb lead. Bad side was only come as just the charger you need to buy leads,boards.

I may need another supply to run in series but we'll see.

I ended up picking up a PL6 for $186 shipped. I have a question though....did your PL8 come with connectors and things like that or was it just a charger in the box and nothing else?
 
I got some bubble wrap with it. But no it's only charger, keeps cost down. Thanks for the different lipo companies using different balance connectors. I just went with the MPA board instead of buying the little boards and having wires all over.But what you see above is what i got. To get the boards you need to order whatever combo you want. I think mine was a combo 7.
I need to make some charging station and get some higher mah lipos. But overall i'm impressed with what it does and using the laptop makes it much easier.
