Replacement charger

[brainanator]

I really enjoy this charger. You'll have to get an auxiliary power supply, but that is pretty cheap and easy, there is a nice thread on how to make a great one around here somewhere.

might help if I add the link...
edit: also might help if I read the whole first post....can't help you there I guess, but you'll probably be paying more than $200 for it. Built in power supplies aren't that great anyway.
Make sure you watch the charging power of the charger if you want to charge much above 3S otherwise the charge current will drop to super slow levels as the voltage increases.

How long have you been using this charger? What did you use for a power supply? I wonder if I could use the one from my MRC charger?

Thanks for the help,

i have this same charger and i strongly recommend it. it is very accurate and does everything it is supposed to very well. i've had mine since october and i haven't looked back. i am very impressed with it, especially for the price.

btw, i've seen the power supply that goes with the superbrain and i can confirm that it will work just fine.

This is great news. For $35 I'm going to give it a shot.

Thanks for all of the help,
