By my reckoning that should be able to charge 4 x 5000mAh packs from flat. That might be enough to get through a days racing....

I tried to do the math before taking the plunge, I thought I'd get 5/6 race packs out of it, putting around 1600/1700mah back in after each race before the Lead Acid battery went flat.
I have charged 8 packs in the past, putting in on average 1700/1800mah back in after each run, and when charging the Lead Acid battery that evening, my charger put around 10,000mah back in. It's all to do with discharge rates etc. aswell. I charge my race packs at 6 amps and the Lead Acid battery more than copes. It probably wouldn't last you a whole weekend, but is more than capable of lasting for a whole days racing, 5 races and 2/3 practices.
