Power Supply

[MikeWz]

Just wonder what PSU you guys with big batts are using. I'm going to need something to power my TP1010 for some TP 10S 3850 extremes. Also, does it have a wall plug...and what do you use to power it at the field?

[MicroMan]

No wall plug for sure, not sure on the Power supply sorry,

[Motions]

I use a 680W computer PSU and it works great for my 6S packs.

[MikeWz]

So I'm going to assume then that you plug your computer PSU into the wall...but then what are you using to hook the PSU up to your charger? Does it come with some kind of connector?

[MicroMan]

Yup you plug the PSU onto the wall then plug leads from the PSU to the charger then hook up your battery.

[MikeWz]

would this be a suitable PSU for the 1010 charging 10S 3700 packs?

Yep that charger will do it fairly easy. I'm using a modified PC power supply 500W which provides around 20A @ 12V. Great for charging at home and i take a 100AH deep cycle battery to the field for charging there.

[MikeWz]

How many charges do you get on that battery while at the field?

[Klinger]

I've had 5 and it probably had 1 more in it although i've never pushed it to the last charge.
