So even though you have a 760w power supply, you can only use 500w of it. You need a 24v power supply to use the charger to it's rated capacity.
Not that anybody requires that (yet), but it's good info to put out there for those that do want to buy this charger and use it to it's full potential.

Hi paralysed,
My goal when buying this charger was to charge my 3cell lipo at the full 30amps. Because charging a 3cell lipo at 30amps does not require the full 1000 watts of this charger, I bought the Power Supply I found to be suitable for my specific needs. If I ever need to charge, say a 6cell lipo at 30 amps, I will then need to buy a new Power Supply, At this time, I race my Hyper 9E 1/8th scale buggy with one 3cell lipo and it's quite perfect for me. As I hope you can now see, no detail was missed. I have no need to spend the extra money for a power supply with a capacity I'm not now fully utilizing, thus I bought the power supply most fitting to my specific needs. Now, if the charger need a 24v power supply in order to charge my 3cell lipo at the full 30amps, then I most certainly would have bought a 24volt power supply. I do thank you for clarifying your thoughts regarding the use of the full potential of the charger, but for my specific needs, it's more about utilizing the full potential of my battery. My battery is rated at 6c charge rate. 5000mah. That's 30amp charging, and ten minute charging is awe so sweet :) with my 12volt power supply. But don't get me wrong, I do understand your point, as well; I hope you understand that I have 100% fulfilled my specific charging and power supply needs.
