Wanting to know if an IOTA 90amp Power supply will run 2 hyperion DUO3 chargers. Both running in SYNC charging mode with 2 5000mah 6s 45c packs on each each charger..

The batteries and specs can be found on this page:

I am using the G3-EX5000-6SS Packs. I want to

Just trying to get a good setup together so i don't sit around charging batteries for the rest of my life.

Thanks,
Tom

Power supply 90 amps X 12 volts = 1080 watts


6S X 4.2 volts = 25.2 volts per pack

Assuming you are charging at 1 C rate

25.2 volts X 5 amps (5000 mah packs) = 126 watts

you say 2 packs per charger and 2 chargers so

126 watts X 4 = 504 watts total

With some losses for heat etc yes I think the 90 amp is lots big

These are safe to charge at 5c so what if i charge them at 2 or 3? this supply should still be good, right?

Thanks for the help guys!

I said 90 amps at 12 volts on the power supply
Is it a 12 volt or 13 or 14 volt ?
If it is rated at 90 amps and it is more than 12 volts you will have a few more watts you can use

BUT

If you charge at 2C you will double the amp draw and watts over all and that will be close or over what this supply can do

Your cells might be able to charge at 5C but they are large 6S packs
How many watts is the charger you have rated for for the total of the 2 sides added together ??

Looking around and doing some research.
Seems like being patient and charging at 1c is the smart thing to do.

How long will it take to charge from cutoff voltage? I'm still learning, thanks for the help.

I have their 55 amp supply. I run multiple chargers off it all the time. The price at http://www.evolveelectrics.com/Iota.html isn't that great. I paid $145 for mine but don't remember where.

Depending on how low your cutoff voltage is it should take around an hour give or take to charge with a good charger
