well we dont have to worry about that no more! i found one that will work! YESSSS!:yipi:

i ended up not needing any of the resistors! what a waste of 4 dollars!

anyways its working awsome and i can go however i want without worrying about it shutting off!

thanks for all your help!

You may not "need" the resistors, but adding them to the 3.3v and/or 5v line might make the 12v more stable and less likely to dip under heavy loads. A little testing with a voltmeter should show if it helps or not. But if it works as-is, great!

well i only plan on charging 1/18 scale batts (ie max charge rate is 2.1 amps...) lol so i think i should be fine right?

lol, yeah, I should think so. 6 cells @ 2.1A only requires ~2A of power supply current. It's when you start charging large packs (4s/12 cells+) at high current (5A+) that the charger starts pulling lots of 12v current.
