LINK FIXED. Thanks.

I am curious of course to see if yours are any different then what I have already seen available. Do you have any photos of your setups? If it were just one power supply without any home made wires used to make it fit the privately intended operation, than maybe it would be considered legally acceptable for charging batteries.

Like I was explaining home owners insurance companies look for excuses like that to exclude payments for damage when a home made device is indicated as having caused the fire in a home. They call it "owner neglegent causes", or something like that. I am not willing to take that chance, because we live in privately owned homes that are contracted by the US Gov for our use in various countries around the world. Nor would I take that chance in my own home. I have seen some of these dual power supply systems joined together to acquire the needed voltage and amps supplied, and they are still not setup up safely for home use. You may have one that will work fine for 100 years, but all it takes is just one to malfunction and someone is going to end up in the poor house with absolutely no recourse for recovery. That is not going to be me.

I want a lagitimate power supply that is patented and designed for the intended use of supplying power to an R/C battery charger. Yes of course I would like it for a reasonable price with similar benefits to this Protek model, which is why I posted the question here. Home made electronics cause way too many house fires for me to risk my home or my family to save a few $$$. I also plan to use a gutted BBQ grill for a charging station rather than just having it setup on a workbench, which will give me at least some protection if a Lipo decides to let go while charging. Sure Lipo fires are somewhat rare, but they do happen. SAFETY FIRST.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
