    Default charging 4 5s 5000mah revos.

    I have a question about power supplies. I will be charging 2 sets of 5s batteries at the river. 10s2p (4) 5s 5000 mah revos. buying a 1600 continuous watt generator. 2000 watts peak. i have (2) hp 47 amp 575 watt 12 volt power supplies. (2) revolectrix powerlab 6's. would it be better to hook up the power supplies for 24 volts and power the chargers off that, or run each charger off it's own 12 volt power supply. thanks

    24V is preferred, but you run a little more risk daisy chaining power supplies. Like speed controllers trading off current for voltage is always easier on the electronics. I would just run each charger off it's own 12V supply.

    i charged (2) 5s 5000 from storage charge in 20 minutes with 12 volt ps. that was at 16 amps on cellpro 6. thats probably max charge rate, huh? batteries and charger, cool to touch.
