need advice on charger

[driftah]

Im looking for a charger that will balance charge 4 2s lipos all at once at 5amps each anyone got any decent ideas,unsure about the hitec or hobbyking ones chime in please?

Do you have price range? If not I would reccomend somthing from Progressive RC.

I was wondering if i could get away with a cheaper one maybe from hobbyking? maybe the 200w ones

One of my buddies just bought one of the dual-output 400W chargers from HobbyKing (Mega 200Wx2, $96). This one will do the job easily with a parallel charge board or home-made adapter. I'm really impressed with the thing so far and will be picking one up myself.

Take it easy,

kinda wanted a quad output one tho thx.

[desmobob]

Any of the quads should do it (barely). 8.4V x 5A = 42 watts... the quads I've seen are 50W per output.

The only advice is the charger will hold up for long time.
So it is i-charger the life time charger.
I have a hyperion eos 0606i ac/dc a turnigy max200w and stil i'm not satisfied.
I have to buy one and it is called i-charger 208b

[driftah]

so then the turnigy one that is 200w will do 4 2s at 5a eack correct?

You set up to parallel charge all at once, right? Prob with the Quad output ones is they are all 50 watt max per output, if that matters.... I recently bought me a 0720i so I should not have to worry about a charger for a few decades... I have 2 parallel boards in the event I am charging 3S and 2S at the same time (two output ports), I can charge a doz. batts as long a power supply can handle it. Seems like you are lookng for something more specific though..... No?

But yes,

200W should be enough on a 4 batt, 2S-each @ 5 amps-each setup. (170 watts)

I don't think.
You need 20a @ 8,4v.

I thinking of this one personally.

[driftah]

maybe i will get a bulldog 30a power supply and the 200w hobbyking or hitec one and call it a day lol,or I can get a hyperion duo for 125 hmmmmmm

Thanks Diegoboy. (I think)

Anywho, Driftah. i can here you thinking..... I was playing with same ideas in the spring. And decided that if i added up just the last 3 chargers I have owned, I would have saved up more than enough to get a great charger. So I finally bought a great charger. To be honest, the Hyperions are very nice. I like it much better than the Imax series among others. My vote is for the Hyperion.....
