Some Pics of my freshly made Charging Station

[lincpimp]

Just got finished building this. I was sick of trying to get the alligator clips all tied together to work all of my chargers at the same time. So I made this tray that holds all of the chargers and has switches to control them seperately. The larger power supply handles the ICE and the 3 hyperion charges. The mrc runs of its own power supply, and it is switched too so I do not have to unplug the charger from the power supply. All I have to do is plug the two PS in to the wall and I am good to go.

I also added 4mm bullet connectors to the cargers, so that I can remove them seperately and use them in the field if I need to. I also made my lba and eqinox balancer high current capable and bought some universal tap adapter boards from cheapbatterypacks.com. No need to search for adapters anymore, yay!

Only had one isse, while I was air nailing the plywood together a nail must have hit a knot and shot out the side of the board and bounced off my left thumb! Felt like my thumb had been hit by a hammer while resting on an anvil. I must have druised the bone! Oh well, it was worth it!







Heres a pic of my lipo drawer, some are missing right now, but that is most of them!



And a shot of the nimh drawer, I do not open this one very often!

Sjesus man. What is wrong with you.

Is that a Costco toolbox?? You didn't show the drawer with all your motors.

Got the toolbox from sam's club. It was a good deal so I picked it up, it does double duty for some rc stuff and small gun parts. Plus a few of my specialized tools.

I need to snap a pic of the motors, but I will need to lay them out on the floor and stand on a chair or something to get the frame big enough!

Thanks neweuser, I can't belive it has taken me this long to get a decent charge station togther.

dude that is a sweet layout,im charging all my lipos with a older thunder power,slow motoin,how do you like the hyperion chargers and which do you recommend

Very Nice Linc!

You can really put some stuff to charge all at once with that setup.

I have one of the MRC chargers just like yours. I really do love it. I made a special charge lead with 4 different plugs on it. I only use one at a time of course.

I use it to charge various lithium ion thingies around that I've converted. (Fans, Flashlights, Florescent Lanterns, etc.......) Plus my Lipos of course.

Out of the chargers in your station, Do you have a favorite?

[lincpimp]

The hyperion chargers are nice, but if could only keep one charger it would be the MRC, it is the most versatile of them all. I really like the ICE, but the 4s max lipo ability really limits it. I use it to charge my trakpower 2s packs in series. The hyperions are great for my uses, I have a few 2200 5s packs that I run in parallel and the hyperion chargers handle charging them at 1c just fine.

Sup Sike!

Yep, I had 5 packs charging at the sma etime earlier, most were just checking them to make sure that they were not low or out of balance from sitting.

In a perfect world the ICE would have the MRC capabilities and the cool blue backlight of the hyperion. The ICE has the best menus and info of all of them, just wish it would do 5s. Performance wise the ICE and MRC charge identically, but the ICE seems to go a bit faster, not sure why?

aah Sams club had them too then. My wife wouldn't get me one.... Use a fisheye lens to take a pic of all your motors. It still might not be enough huh.

I will stand them on end, with the shafts pointing up! Give me a few minutes, and I will take a pic!

[lincpimp]

Here are most of the motors that are not installed. I have at least 10 more floating around, and about a dozen more in vehicles.

[snellemin]

Which model# is that C50 with the 3.2mm shaft? And how is that kontronik compared to the hacker?

Mother of god......
