Will this function as a PSU?
Hey all,
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Durable-...edirect=mobile Am looking at the 10Amp power supply from eBay with what looks like a DC 2.1 plug that should plug directly into my Turnigy Reactor 250W 10Amp charger. https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-...___store=en_us Anyone know if this setup will work? Also why there isnt any sort of fan on this PSU? Thanks in advance |
Depends a bit on what you want to charge.
You will not be able to charge at the chargers full potential (250 watt ) since the power supply can only provide a maximum of 120 watt ( 10a*12v= 120 watt ). I do not know about this charger, but most chargers work better at a higher voltage input when charging higer cell counts. I use a server power supply, something like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HP-DL360...rzPg:rk:9:pf:0 There are some topics on this forum and other ones on what you need to do to use them as a power supply for an RC charger. This differs a bit from type to type but you should be able to find some. I used this link: https://www.rc-help.com/ams/1000w-po...e-powerful.37/ If I am able to do this, then you are to, I suck with eletronics :-) |

Thanks for the run down Ruudxd! Will keep a look out for the server psu's on ebay....they look a bit intimidating to wire up. I just saw the above for a decent price and no need to modify. I have a para board and would like to charge up to 4x 2 Cell 5200mah lipos at once at 10amps. I have an erevo so double packs means lots of charging. |
No problem, I am no hero in electronics though, I hope someone else can help as well and correct me :-)
If I am correct that means 10a*8,4v=84 watts, so you could use that power supply. It would mean that if you are charging the 4 batteries in parallel you will be charging for about 2 hours.. |
