You may only charge two packs at a time now but I'm sure that number will increase as you progress in the hobby. You can't put 2S and 3S on the parallel board and charge away. THE NUMBER OF CELLS MUST MATCH WHEN CHARGING PARALLELLY.
You don't necessarily have to populate the entire board. With a parallel board you can charge 1, 2, 3, OR 4 packs at once. Right there is 78 watts of power needed, even ignoring the 7A.

You would set your charger to 3S 7000 (2 x 2200 plus 2 x 1300). To take it further, let's say your packs are two 3S 2200 and two 3S 1300. PROVIDED your charger has the wattage power and capability. Instead of doing it one at a time, resulting in 2 hours, you can charge all four at once and it'll take you only 30 mins. Let's say it takes you 30 mins to charge a pack and you have four packs. Your charger may only have one port so that's the idea to make efficient use of your time.
Wait, so what's a paralell charging board for?īecause I only need to charge at most 2 at a timeĪs Benp said above, the parallel board allows you to charge multiple packs at once off of one port on your charger. You could probably make some cash building charging setups like that! I hope you scarfed up a lifetime of “trash” power supplies. Don't want to tell the boss you tried to save a few dollars and the whole company shuts down. When the time is up, you are required to replace them all with new ones to guarantee 99.9% up time, even if they are working. Server power supplies have a life expectancy rating (3 years in this case). My work was throwing them out by the boat load even though they were perfectly fine and working. This is a close up of soldering the correct jumpers and soldering on the terminals so you can use banana jacks for the charging leads or cables.īTW, the power supplies cost me nothing. So the math says 41.8 amps! I added the parallel board in the picture for a size reference. So far so good.īTW, I check the label on the unit and it says 502 watt output at 12 volts.

It became too unwieldy when I tried adding a second supply and made it heavy and not too portable so I just used one supply. You cannot connect the two units' ground or you risk an electrical shock. Here's a unit that I isolated the ground as my original intention was to combine two units for 24V output. All the cables tuck into the case for storing and the parallel board goes in too. Note the $5 smoke detector for safety from Home Depot. It's not too sexy, looking like a tin box. As you can see, the server power supply is in the back that feeds both channels.
Not only does the Reaktor 300W offer a super high charge rate capability it now features storage charging, cyclic charging / discharging, 10 charge parameter memory and high power balancer.When using AC power input the charger can supply a constant 15V/23A output that can be used to supply power to a separate DC charger.The Turnigy Reaktor 300W is an all-in-one power house charging solution for your R/C models batteries.Features: The Turnigy Reaktor range of chargers are known for their big power and diminutive size, the latest Turnigy Reaktor offering has stuck with this formula but it now includes a built in AC power supply as well as the 10~28V DC input.This high power balancing charger / discharger can provide up to 20A charge rates and handle up to 6S Li-poly/LiFe/LiHV or 17S NiCd/NiMH/NiZN accurately. The Turnigy Reaktor 300W 20A AC/DC Synchronous Balance Changer is now compatible with NiZN and LiHV, max voltage 4.7V and comes with updated software.
