    Christmas!

    Merry Christmas! I can't wait until my son is old enough, I will be getting him RC planes for Christmas for sure. He is only 3 now. Not too much money left for me for Christmas after 4 kids and a wife ;)

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    These PSUs at the link above were actually made to be run in parallel, but the mod has to be done properly. If you hook 2 of the Power12 supplies in parallel you can get up to 94 amps. But to do it properly there is a current share pin that needs to be connected between the two PSUs and I...

    Yes, it can be done with the right mod. It is not something I am offering standard right now, but PM me if it is something you are interested in and I can do a custom job for you.

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    Yes, you sure can use both of those chargers at the same time on a Power24+. You can always use multiple chargers, even more than two if you wanted to, on the Power24+. The limiting factor is the amount of current you can draw. But even at max, the two chargers you are thinking of using will...

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    I purchase and test a lot of these PSUs and since they are re-purposed (used) sometimes they do fail when I test them under load. You usually know pretty quickly which ones are going to fail and which are still solid...point is, one thing you get when you purchase from me versus DIY is the...

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    Yeah, I think it makes sense if you are charging at the club that you wouldn't need as many batteries. I usually charge all of mine at home. I find between work, family, life...I typically just do not have enough time to fly more than about about an hour or two at a time.

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    Hey Doc, thanks for the great write up! I wanted to address some of the questions that have been asked: 110v is AC current whereas the charger needs DC current to charge the batteries. Most manufacturers do not include the AC to DC converter in the charger so you need a separate power...

    In-line On/Off Switch/Y-Connector Power Cord for 12V/24V PSU

    Updated listing...it is now available in two different styles! I also changed the standard length to 3 feet as this has been the most requested length. I will still do any length up to 6 feet at no additional charge, just let me know what your need.

    In-line On/Off Switch/Y-Connector Power Cord for 12V/24V PSU

    It will work on your set up. I have the same set up as you, the DPS-600, and I just tested it again last night. I tested it on a dummy load that I created which loaded the PSU at 50 amps of current continuously for 2 hours straight with my Y-connector power cord to power it. Note: the PSUs...

    In-line On/Off Switch/Y-Connector Power Cord for 12V/24V PSU

    OK, it's probably 18AWG then, but I will probably just throw a 14AWG cord in there though just incase you ever use it on a beefier supply...there are some supplies out there that will draw massive abounts of current that might be too much for a standard 18AWG PC cord.

    In-line On/Off Switch/Y-Connector Power Cord for 12V/24V PSU

    Sounds good. Do you know what gauge wire/power cord you are currently using to power it? It's probably either 14AWG, 16AWG, or 18AWG most likely.
