what charger is prefered for trex600 packs up to 10 cells?

[Newflee]

Just wondering what is the best charger/balancer for large lipo packs.
Multiple pack charging, balancing, and ac/dc input are my main requirements.
Please give me a clue.....
I have a triton for my 450 size packs but would like the option of ac power for at home and enough output for multi large pack charging would be great.

Thanks guys,

Lee

No charger with 10S capability is available having built in AC ability.

Limited # of chargers available capable of 10S or more.

e-Station 902 (12S)
Hyperion 1210i (10S)
Cellpro 10S (10S) Not available yet
TME Xtrema (10S)
TP 1010C (10S)

You'll need a min a 30 Amp power supply to run off DC as well.

You'll need a min a 30 Amp power supply to run off DC as well.

I'm just curious how you're arriving at 30A.

10S * 4.2V * 5A = 210W / 13.8V = 15.2A

Now, if you're meaning to do a 2C charge to a 5000mAh pack, then, sure, 30A, but I'd think that the 5000mAh pack at 1C would be a decent place to plan for, no?

Clearly, we'd need to know what pack he's after charging, but...

I'm using a 1010/210 to charge my 10s lipos at 5A (1010 max output) powered by a radio shack 25A power supply for over a year now without any problems. PS doesn't even get warm :)

I'm using the TP 6s-5000 packs, but want to be able to upsize if needed to 8 and 10s.
I'm thinking of perhaps one of these.....seems they will charge a couple packs at the same time at anywhere fro 3 to 5 amps each depending on model.

That same RS 25A supply will run my two 1010s charging 6 cell packs at 8A each no problem.

I was able to run one 1010 charging 6S packs at 5A and a Triton charging 3S packs at 2.1 off a 12.5A power supply before I bought the new PS.
