Ok, so I have a power source and two CellPro 4s chargers. Here's a pic:

It was quite a task to solder the three black and three red 12 gauge wires together into what I have there.
Well, I need/want to get another CellPro and thought I would ask for some suggestions on adding all three Deans plugs in to one. Maybe just splice down a bit from the two plugs instead of putting all three together?????
I will probably start all over and use some silicon wire. What is the smallest gauge wire I can safely use?
Thanks for any suggestions!!!!

Hook this to your power supply and you are all set. Just change over to bananna plugs on your chargers.

Isn't that a power supply by itself??

Nope, it is a power strip. You simply remove the clamp connectors on the strip and replace with banana clips to plug into your power supply. Then you put banana clips on each individual charger (instead of trying to solder them all into one) and plug them into the strip. With this strip, if your power supply can handle the load, you would be able to plug in 6 chargers......
Hope this helps.

better keep the fire extinguisher handy LOL
That must be a heavy draw on those small wires into the power source
