Hyperion 1420i chargers

Because these newer Hyperion chargers are fairly high-power, and it would be tough to make them with a big PSU built-in (size-wise and cost-wise). If you look at most AC/DC chargers they are the little 50W ones.

With a separate PSU you can use it with multiple chargers, and keep it if you get a new charger. Also if something goes wrong with the charger you still have a working PSU, where if they are together in one unit then it's rendered useless.

Exactly what simple champ said. I'm sooooo glad that all the chargers DON'T come with build in power supplies.
