THE BEST RC LIPO/WIRING INFO I'VE FOUND: Tjinguytech.com

[JIM MARCUM]

Everything about LIPO wiring & series/parallel charging setups in easy to understand, well ilustrated formats with how to instructions can be found at: Tjinguytech.com. Even shows how to convert a 47 amp @ 12 volts HP computer power supply (dps-600pb) for LIPO charging. With one of these HP power supplies ( $18 shipped on Ebay) you will have a VERY nice and POWERFUL 12 V 47 amp power supply for your charger(s). JIM

Over on RC Groups, under Batteries and Chargers, there is a Sticky on how to convert various Power Supplies.
I bought 3 - 55 amp models for $42.00 shipped last fall.
Easy to do and works great.

This is also a link for converting a PSU. I like the fact that it has info for a 5 volt output for testing servos and rx's. I made one with a 500 watt PSU and it drives my Hyperion dual charger no problem.

I spent the last 2 days reading all the information on RC Groups about converting server PS and what a wake up. It wasnt on my radar. I got a 910 watt PS on Btray for $26 delivered and the instructions for conversion were well documented on RC Groups. Including the PS that FeatherMerchant has been selling. His are a good deal but I got a 75 amp 12v PS for less then $30! And its not the only one out there. If you research further you can find tons of deals where guys are converting these server PS and getting 2000 watts and more. This to me is a major windfall.

Be careful with the wattage, most homes are fixed in wiring to max at about 2200 watts, some older homes less than 1000. its nice to charge super fast or with the new toys but for the folks that arent sure...check your builder to make sure your tech wont fry your home wiring.

Decided to go with the HP DL580 PS and finaly got the conversion completed. 74 amps at 12 volts for $26! Plus my time of course. Only problem is this sucker is LOUD. Has 2 internal fans that come on and its like a 747! However I doubt I will ever need more amps now. Thanks for the recommendation!
