I did see the specs on it.
At 80 watts per channel, what's the most you can charge a 5s 5000 mah pack?

I do have two chargers that have ac built in.

Not very powerful tho.

The highest setting on the normal charge is 6amp. If I set at 6amp. with my 5s 5000mah packs down to 20%, I can charge all 4 of them back up in about 1hr. 50min. There is also a fast charge setting but I have not even tried it.

But at what amperage does the charger actually put out per 5s pack. Will it do 5 amps? Or is it lower around 4 amps?

how many watts is the charger?

I would love to get a 30-40amp / 1300 watt charger very soon

well i got the charger today. it shipped monday morning from washington state and arrived here in ma today. fast shipping. progressive rc gets a star for correcting my mistake when ordering and actually getting it rite. I called robin first thing monday morning, she corrected the mistake and bingo! got the rite stuff.
unit seems solid. unfortunately its looking like rain here for a few days, so its not looking like ill be doing any charging. the balance board i got seems well built and quality. def will shop with them again.

Here's the setup. I decided to go ahead and charge. Had to see how it performs.
It did them pretty quick.
Thanks to a member in this thread I got a great power supply. \m/

I really need some new packs. These things are toast. They really don't want to balance out much anymore.

So, update. The charger works well. In fact I have a set of 5s that I figured were junk because they hit lvc after 30 secs, and one pack was showing the cell voltages being drastically different. My old crap chargers wouldn't balance them. This one actually balanced the cells back out so I'm hoping the packs still work.

Well I got out today. Those packs are toast. They balanced thanks to my new charger but still are not up to the task anymore. They have given me 4 seasons so for the price they did their job.
Saltwater bucket time I guess.
