1)how do you figure out what size power supply you need for your charger? Hyperion 610 - I know I need a 12VDC unit, but how many amps?

2) how do you figure out charge time on a 6S 5000mah pack? Ie, how is it calculated?

This page was created specifically to help you pick the right PS: http://scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_charger.html

You generally charge at 1C, so 5000mAh X 1C = 5A.

thanks to ALL! cmcclive: you wrote exactly what I was looking for!

BrianG: once again, you've pointed out to me that all this stuff has been done in your calculators, and me, the newB dope overlooked it

Thank you!!!
