If you had $1000.00 to spend on a charger and power supply, what would you buy?

[camss69]

That is definitely a cool piece of gear!

With that budget I would get a Dual PowerLab8 with a bump controller and two 24v 55 amp 1320 watt power supplies and have money left. That way you can sit in the comfort of your lawn chair and check the charge status of your batteries with your phone!

Nice!

Now that I told you what I'd do with that budget, what I'd really do is a single PowerLab 8 with a Bump Controller and a single 24v power supply for around $600.

Ditto. I wish I would have known about the bump controller when I built my case a couple of moons ago. I'm digging my power lab 6 though and running an 1800 watt hp server power supply.

A buddy I work with just purchased a cnc plasma cutter and for fun I may redo my charger case some time next year and get him to cut me a bad a$$ deck for it and throw in another pl6 and bump controller and make it fancy lookin.

Dang I see the bump controller is already up for pre-order with a pl6 combo....hmmm

Edit: And now its ordered Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to get a bump controller, if the first run hasn't sold out, to start playing with.

I would buy a DLE-61 and 10 gallons of premix and fly forever, flight after flight!--Smitty

Just pay cbarnes0061 $1000 to build you another badass slab and be happy with the charger you currently have. .

I have the knock off version of the X4 and love it. I'm not worried about charging fast though. Even at the field I never charge any of my packs at more that 2.5amps.

www.progressiverc.com here in Washington state. Excellent company uses iCharger and can pretty much customize anything you might want. Had them do a 500 watt unit for me, excellent setup and support.

I have a 24 volt homemade supply out of a server delivering around 950watts. Hyperion duo charger. It will charge 12s 6000 in about 25 min and that's not even turned up. Whole setup cost less than 400. I never charge packs higher than 3c.

 

[Bunky.F.Knuckle]

I went with 2 Dell (AA 23300, I think....)server supplies, 47A, 1150W of power and wired in series for 24Vdc output. I am using 2 iChargers, a 308 and a 406. They do more than I need them to do. I'd like to upgrade my supplies to 2000W at 24Vdc.
