Any experience with the Hyperion EOS 0610i Duo Dual

[GorillaMaxx360]

does anyone know the specific amp rating that is necessary in order to use the charger to its full capabilities (2 6s 8000mah for example). i would probably never use the charger to do such a thing :) because i don't even have one pack that big but for future reference i want to know what i might need and where i can get a good but not overpriced supply. Also is there anyway to figure out how much amps the charger is pulling from the power supply based on what you are charging that way i could do the math and see ahead of time if the power supply would be sufficient before charging 2 packs. thanks again for the info.

to charge my 6s 5000 packs it takes about 130 watts and my PS puts out 14v which comes out to just over 9 amps
and the PS I use is this one for just under $100, make sure the PS is ov the cc/cv variety

A little late to the party here, but those are the two chargers I have. I love the duo. Not that I dislike the Ice, I just always have two packs to charge and the options afforded by the Duo are awesome. I'd rate both on the same level as far as user interface. The upgradeability of the Duo is a double edged sword, It's a nice feature, but you have to have a special cable which I was not aware of when I ordered mine.

I use a 25 amp Radio Shack power supply and have not run short on power yet. The most I have charged at once though is both outputs at 5.3 amps. I should test the power supply with both chargers on it at once and see how it does.

this is the power supply i have also for my ice. is there any coorolation between the amps you charge a battery at and the amps the PS puts out. for example if your power supply (ofna for example) puts out 18 amps does this mean you could charge 2 packs at a 9 amp charge or am i on the wrong train of thought.

I would look at total watts if you have a PS that could put higher voltage you can get away with lower amps....amps x volts = watts, the Hyperion 0610 can put out a total of 250 watts while the duo can only charge 180 watts per pack for a total of 360 watts but the 180 watts could charge a 6s pack @ 6 amps
