Thanks for the input fellows. Could someone tell me (again) how the watts of the chargers retates to the amps it says it can charge at. I did not pay attention to the watts adverstised only looked at the amps it lists. I must of tired to simplify it to much by thinking that if it is capable of 7amp maxx then it should be able to charge a lipo pack of 7000mah or less at 1c.

Harold, I think we are too late about the Volcano this time. We might be able to save the next victim if I act in time though. lol I thought it was odd that I couldn't find any specs on thier brushless setup on thier web site or the manual. Only that it is 2s ready.



I just looked at BrianG charger section. It has more info in it since the last time I was there. He always seems to be one step ahead of us when knowing what to add to it. At least one step a head of me anyways. It looks real helpful so I might be able to understand the watts and amps a little better after look at it.


After doing a little more looking. It looks like the Turnigy 8s and 6s chargers are updated and rebadged IMAX B6 and B8 chagers. That probably no suprise to alot of people. The Turnigy version has the newer charging tecnoligy (ie, allowing what they call a lipo fast charge now), extra storage (10 vs 5)(, and a couple more bells and whistles like larged LED desplay, nice variety of charging adapters included using deans instead of Tamiya. The power input/charging specs are the same as far as current, watts, and amps that are listed.

Okay, last edit to this post, maybe.

Anyways, BrainG web page help me out. So you can disregard the please help with amp and watts I broadcasted earlier. Especially if it sounded like a little girls scream for help. I realized I didn't want to know the why and how comes of the watts and amps. Just wanted the bottom line for the chargers. It was once again found at Brians place. Thanks agiain Brain.
