My budget is 8K max. Please suggest the "safest and most reliable" charger. 8K is a good budget...Get an icharger 206b or 208b. I used to charge 6 3s 2200 mah lipos in parallel using 106b. Raja_mastana is also using turnigy accucell 8 and is quite happy with it.

I am confused on the output of the icharger - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__10382__iCharger_206B_300W_8s_Balance_Charger.html Do I need to buy a seperate cable or something to charge multiple LIPOS? Title: Re: Which Charger To Buy - To charge multiple LIPO's Post by: murcielago on January 23, 2013, 06:58:15 PM Hi,
Thats a good choice... You can charge multiple lipos either in parallel or in series.. To charger multiple lipos u need one of these two: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__14856__Hobbyking_Parallel_charging_Board_for_6_packs_2_6S_XT_60_.html http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__15237__Parallel_charging_Board_for_6_packs_2_6S_T_Connector_.html Either one of these will be needed for parallel charge. The output of this charger is 300watts. This capacity of 300 watts is reached when ur power supply is above 18 volts. Check this link it will make the basics of lipos n charger clear to you. https://sites.google.com/site/tjinguytech/charging-how-tos/wattage-for-charging Title: Re: Which Charger To Buy - To charge multiple LIPO's Post by: mbsanoop on January 23, 2013, 07:05:00 PM Thanks a lot

The charger will depend on that. Each charger designed for a specfic charging current. But that should never cross the battery charging current Or you can say, charging current of charger should be less than battery's maximum charging current value. So, either you should go for a variable current charger or a low current balance charger. You may try http://hobbysea.com/products.php?128&cPath=12&sid=97e7f01e05eabc3797cef80b7de88795 |
