Power Supply Question
 
Last month, I bought an E Revo and some 7 cell SPC packs for it. I have an ICE charger and a 12 volt 10 amp power supply.

I like the truck a lot, but dont like to wait two and a half hours for the batteries to charge. My ICE is a great charger, but it cant do two batteries at once. I was looking for a Dual charger that can charge lipos and I found the Hyperion EOS0610i DUO.

I plan to buy this charger, but I dont know if my power supply will be able to supply enough current for charging two packs at once.

I figured that my power supply is capable of delivering 120watts of power (12v*10A=120 watts).

To charge one 7 cell NiMh pack at 4.6 amps, I would need about 39 watts (8.4v*4.6A=38.64 watts). For two packs I would need about 78 watts.

Based on these numbers, my power supply would be powerful enough right?

Thanks for reading this

Those numbers work in my head. So long as the charger itself is rated for more than 80watts, I see now problems.

Thanks for the quick response Neil. The DUO is capable of 180 watts per port, so I should be fine.
