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
