I recently bought a charger that will charge 6s batteries and I also need a power supply for it and was wondering what would be a good recommendation.

thanks

multiply the battery voltage and the battery amperage (in amps) times and multiply that by 0.8 to get the basic # of watts you need. if you're planning on charging at a high rate (multiple C), then multiply by that too. Dont be surprised to find you need a big 20-40A power supply for larger batteries.

Does that mean my 12v supply that I have should work with it?

get a computer power supply and convert it. lots of times you can find one free salvaged from an older computer.

Get this one ; Its has all the power you'll ever need , Unless you go bigger. http://progressiverc.com/index.php?o..._id=2&Itemid=1 Go to power supply and check out the P 350.

That with a iCharger 206B is one awesome set up.
