[JASON671]

need a power supply for my cellpro4s.witch power supply do i need im new to the electric game. all these volts and amps, watts confuse me lol:dontknow ive been looking the Pro Peak 20 Amp Single Output Power Supply (http://www.grandrc.com/inc/sdetail/78012). will this work? or is it too much power. i do plan on getting one or two more cellpro4s chargers. but im also thinking about bigger chargers in the future for trex 500/600.any help and advise will be great. thanks:thumbup:

anyone?

You need 5 amps per CellPro. So that one would run 4 of them.

And better to buy slightly larger now, than having to buy again.

I've been running two Cellpro 4S chargers on one of those for a few months now - works great.

Looks like they have two versions of that PSU. A one output version and a two output version for $20 more. While I have almost zero electrical experience I have the feeling all you need is some common $2 splitter to achieve what the extra $20 gets you, am i right?

[cheech91060]

shouldn't even need a splitter if you can get your charger leads all connected securely. hooking them up in parallel should be ok too. (e.g. red lead from charger 1 plugs into the supply, red lead from charger 2 hooks onto red lead from charger 1 etc)

Hooking the chargers up in series will divide the voltage by the number of chargers. Not a good idea!

Yes, you want them hooked up in parallel.

I use one of these: http://www.integy.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=3653&p_catid=

4 individuall switched and 2 unswitched outputs. Good for up to 6 chargers.

Wow. That is a very cool little add-on...:thumbup:

Nice, but at $29 now i'm thinking the $20 extra for the Power supply with two outputs instead of one might be worth it. Will I need a banana to deans adapter to use the supply with the cellpro 4s?
