LiHV Charger

[emtea]

Hi all,

After no luck whatsoever, I am at a loss and thought I'd try asking here, as many of you have been in RC for a long time.

I'm looking for an LiHV charger, as small as possible and preferably with a built in PS so I don't haveto carry a separate PS. I don't really care if it's not 300W, I can handle slow charge times, but I just want something easy to carry on trips.

It will need to be 6S capable, the rest I don't really care for.

So far, this is the only thing I've found that fits the bill and it's quite large: D100 Charger

I found another one here that I prefer because of its size but, where the hell do you find a power supply with an XT60 plug? Is this something I can solder myself onto a standard 12-18V PS? Turnigy Accucel-6 80W 10A Balancer/Charger LiHV Capable

Thanks in advance!

Why would you post this on the Inspire forum

So he can charge his Inspire batteries without having to carry lots of separate power bricks when travelling.

I have skyrc d100 and it can't start charging lipo or lihv if there is no connection cable to the cells of that battery.
Maybe a charger that support 26v for Pb batteries will do the job?

Ah okay, thanks. I am also looking for the charger to charge my other auxiliary lipos. How long have you had it? I've had bad experiences with some AC/DC lipo charger because the built-in PS dies. I am wondering if we can find a charger that will take an input of 20+ volts, and then make an adapter from the inspire charging brick to the lipo charger, that would reduce one power supply we'd have to carry around.

I have it from about a year and think that the charger is pretty good, the only cons is the noisy fan.
When 100% of the power output is set to one of the channels it can charge one 3S battery with 8A or if 50% per channel then you can charge maximum 2 batteries 3S at 4A each. With 4S batteries on 100% power output charge per channel is 5A or at 50% it can charge 2 4S batteries at 2.5A each. It quickly became weak for my needs.

But I'm looking to upgrade to iCharger 308 duo because I have a lot other big capacity batteries and I want to be able to charge them faster and all on only one charger.
