I use a computer power supply, it is fairly easy to make and all you really need is the correct end(or alligator clips) and you're done. just take your supply, cut off the big plug at the end. for your adapter, use yellow wire as positive and black as negative. then to turn on simple touch the green wire to any black, or solder it to a switch if u really wanna be fancy. viola

Now thats what im talkin about! I looked at some reviews of that charger on the net, and people seem to agree that its a great charger and an awesome deal. I may have to seriously consider it.
My only question has to do with the fact that its only 50w output. In my research people have recommended going with at least 100w. If I end up going with the 50w unit, im guessing it will just take a bit longer to charge a larger pack?
Upon further inspection I noticed they now make a 150w Turingy Accucel-8 charger for about 80 bucks. Maybe it would be worth the upgrade to this charger?
