Hey guys,
So I'm about to make the switch to Lipo and have been researching chargers for a while. I will need to have a charger that can handle a 4 cell 5000 lipo and maybe even a 5 cell 4000 lipo down the road. I am really not looking to spend like 300 bucks on the setup, so I need to be smart about this.
Someone on another forum offered to sell me his MRC Superbrain 989 for 110 shipped. Almost went for it until I searched on this forum. To my surprise I read here that people dont recommend the 989 for Lipo batteries, even though it says it can charge them (I guess battery companies dont recommend the charger or something?) Anyways, that kinda threw off my plan!
I am now thinking about going with the Turingy Accucel-8 charger. It looks like it has everything I need (besides power supply), is priced great, and has gotten great reviews. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced power supply for it? Would like to keep it under 100 bucks if possible, but dont really want to have to hook one to my PC. Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion? I appreciate it!
