Chargers New charger

[stokke]

I'm selling off my charger. I have been looking at this baby: Hyperion shop

But it seems, it cannot be plugged into the wall (220V)?
Is this normal?

Is it common to have a separate power unit besides the charger?

What chargers do you guys have?

Yes on bigger chargers its common to have a separate power source. My B 8 charger has a power supply for it.

Yes only the little 50W chargers tend to have wall plugs. I have a 300W power supply for my Icharger. A lot of people convert old computer PSUs to work with there Chargers.

Well that sucks. Having to pay a bunch for the charger, then another bunch for a PSU...

I think I might go for the Hyperion mentioned earlier, and this PSU: Turnigy 1200W 200~240V Power Supply (24VDC - 50amp)

If you're gonna go for that, why not get this at the same time.Turnigy Fatboy 8 1300W Workstation Charger

The GF got me a gift card for my biorthday, and the store carries the Hyperion charger

Those are Two Meaty Units.... Go For it..... I have only got a 150watt Turnigy 8 ... and built my own converted PSU out of a brand new 500W power supply. just waiting on an Aluminium Wire Wound 10ohm 10 Watt Resistor...... ($4.00)

 

[stokke]

Yeah, I will have to wait a bit to get all this stuff - I'm strapped for cash atm... Hopefully February.

I have the Hyperion EOS 0730i NET3 works great...They make good chargers, a friend has the one you listed, he loves it.
He's flying a Trex 500 so he is charging a lot of 6s packs
I also bought a MaxAmps PS 24v 47amp rated for 24 but does put out 25.4v. I have charged up to 11 batteries over 25,000+ mAh in 1.5 hr set it to 20amp output and let it go.

Most of your better chargers that have high charge rate 500w and higher use external PS, the lower wattage charges will have PS built in so cases.
