WhataNut FMA PowerLab8 1000W charger

[snellemin]

Yea, I've tripped the HP power supply allready. I'm almost wanting to use four of those HP power supplies and configure it for 2s2p....24V@94A. That also means that I would need a beefed up power outlet in my garage and set of earplugs for those crazy fans.

I just received my Powerlab 8 and Iota DLS-27-25. Man, this is one bad ass setup! As an fyi, Nankin Hobby has a $25 off coupon and free shipping on the Powerlab 8 combo 2 so you can get it all for ~$255.

Also, Revo now has a USA warehouse so we dont have to pay crazy shipping charges from Singapore. http://www.usastore.revolectrix.com/

That's great news indeed. Thank you for the information :)

I am amazed at how many people at the track don't realize this charger is available and balance charges at 40amps.

This charger has made it possible for me to bring one back pack, which I put a few tools, a couple extra parts, my car stand, one set of tires(I keep in a zip lock baggy to keep the tires from drying out), my 42amp common sense rc power supply($125.oo at Common Sense RC Web Site), My CellPro PowerLab 8 Charger, and Three Thunder Power G4 50c 5200mah 2cell LiPo's(I only need two LiPo's but I bring three for the time one of the batteries begins to eventually lose power, though it's been one year and these little power cells are still going strong + Thunder Power extended their warranty to 2 years woohoo).

Whereas I use to bring five chargers to the track and a case of LiPo's in order that I would always have at least one battery charged and ready to go; and I would be able to run back to back batteries at the track- all day. This(CellPro PowerLab 8) Charger Is Awesome.

I hope the next model has the ability to Balance Charge at 100Amps. At the rate LiPo and LifePo4 chemistry batteries are advancing- it will not be long until LiPo's can charge in less than five minutes. Though I'm very happy with my 7 to 10 minute 30amp charging I've been doing :) As it is, the batteries I'm running cannot even take full advantage of the full 40amp's ability of my charger lol.

I still need to wire my 2 power supplies together...


24v at 72 amps will draw 18amps at 120v(ish) good thing my basement is wired with a 30 amp breaker
