I decided to start looking into updating my still functioning iMax B6 charger in light of being able to charge 2 4S packs at the same time at 5C.

I think the only charger that realy interests me is the iCharger 3010B, I've got it in my cart at Hobbyking for $189.99, but I'll look for it here stateside before I purchase as the shipping is expensive and I'd rather push some business twards a distributor in the USA.

I'm now looking into power supplies as well to try and get something that will feed the 3010B 24v at 40+ amps. I'm thinking a pair of X0551 dell server PS's in series mounted in an enclosure (properly isolated) would give me 24Vdc @ 45 amps for less than $60 shipped.

I know it all seems overkill, but I figure being overbuilt and underused will keep it happy long enough to cover me until some newer better technology comes along.


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
