FWIW, i just got in an order from Buddy RC, and got some of their 10 and 12 AWG wire. it is also nice quality. thanks for the tip about the wire quality from PRC. pat

just an quick update on my project. following the exact instructions on coolgabsi's write up and Tony's video, i successfully isolated the DC ground from the AC / chassis ground. sounds like the instructions work perfectly for this HP model with different P/N. more to follow... pat

thanks again, Tony. i will proceed and report back

so, i ran a quick test this morning, regarding the HP DPS-600PB B with slightly different P/N's. these are my findings: 1. i applied 120v to the main and it powered up, but it was not displaying any voltage across the 12v out terminals. fan wasn't too loud. 2. i shorted out pins 6, 8...

thank you very much for your help, Tony. i will test it this weekend and report back. we have a blizzard / nor'easter coming in tomorrow (18"-24" of snow) that will keep me tied up for a few days, and hopefully we won't lose power. yeah, on the 12v out terminals, and for the series...

sure, give me a little time, and i will post them up. - - - Updated - - - ok, first attempt at pics here. hope they came through. first pic are fuses needed breaking / nipping nest is ground screw that needs to be removed and insulated then the pins finally the label on PSU thanks pat

sure, give me a little time, and i will post them up.

Tony, i received my PSU's and took a close look at them. they are not what was described in the ebay auction, and didn't match the pictures in the auction either. i may have to return them. but, i still may be able to use them. i wanted to run this by you to see if you know whether or not...

so i watched the vid on parallel charging. and it was said the batts should be close in voltage before hooking them up to prevent a huge surge of current between them. it was said the voltages should be within 5 %. soooooo, before connecting them in parallel, 1 cell or 3.8 v batts should be...

Tony, i took your advice from the other thread. i pulled the trigger tonight on an icharger 306b. thanks for steering me in the right direction. pat

so, no matter what you set the amps to on the charger, these batteries will all charge at the same C rate, even though they are different capacities? is this what you are saying? thanks

i'm trying to understand this better. i have made some assumptions and want to know if my assumptions are correct. theoretically, let's say you have a 1000w, 30A charger, and a 1150w power supply at 24V. let's say you have 10 batteries, all 3s. 6 of them are 2200 mah, and 4 are 3000 mah...

thanks for the warm welcome, guys

Tony, do you have an opinion on the reaktor 1000 watt charger? pat

thank you very much, Tony. i will definitely check them out. pat

for starters, i was going to get a reaktor 300 watt, 20 amp charger. then after a few months, i might add a 1000 watt, 30 amp as a "backup". LOL

i know what you mean! i am going to have a 1150 watt power supply at 24 volts, with a 300 watt charger, and possibly a 1000 watt charger down the road. i'd really like to daisy chain these para boards without losing a board slot. pat - - - Updated - - - thanks, Tony. where might i get...

in one of Tony's vids, about charging lipos in parallel, it looks like the two para boards are daisy chained without having to tap into one of the 6 main and parallel slots on top of the board, if that makes sense. it looks like there is a direct connection coming out the back of one board, and...

hi, my name is Pat. i'm from central maine. just starting out in this hobby. been wanting to do so since i was 20, and i'm 56 now. it's about time! i have purchased a sport cub s, and plan to learn on that first for a few months. i have also purchased a sport cub. that will be my next...

hi. i just watched a video on youtube of how to take 2 hp server power supplies and convert them to a 25 volt power supply for charging rc batteries. they were hp dps-600pb b. the vid said there was a write up on the rc-help forum, with pictures. would some one kindly provide a link to this...
