AC/DC duel channel charger
 
Hi,

Looking for a duel channel AC/DC charger, ideally 50w per channel as I'm only charging 2S Lipos.

Most duel channel chargers I've come across are DC only.

Probably because it would need a 10-12a power supply to charge 2 packs at the same time. Just buy a power supply then you can buy any charger you want in the future.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the reply. Yep the PS/Charger combo at the moment seems to be the best option I'm trying to keep the size of all the RC stuff I have as small as possible.

With guys using bigger & bigger packs, especially in 1/8th scale, I think the charger I'm looking for is just around the corner:thumbsup: (wishful thinking;) )

I use one of these PSU to power my charger Kev, they are really good. If you contact bigred5765 on here, he sells them.

Inside Line Racing are selling the AC/DC Core RC UAC50 for £39.99 ATM (RRP £59.99), for that price you could get 2 and not need a power supply:

I have a couple of these and you can actually charge two 2S packs at once (on each charger) if you get a dual pack balance board for another £2.99:

but it still only balance charges at 5amp and shared out between all the packs would take ages,

Beat me to it Carl..lol. LRP make a lead for dual charging from the one charger but for it to be economical, you really need at least a 200-400w charger, for which you will need a PSU to be able to supply the required amps to make it worthwhile. Take the plunge Kev and get the dual charger and PSU and you won't need to worry. :thumbsup:
