Maximum output current is 40 amps. Multiply that times 6s voltage (25.2v) and you get 1008 watts. I do it all the time and it rocks to have that much current on tap. Four 6s packs in parallel at 3c each. My flying can't keep up with one of my Powerlabs, let alone both of them.

For 6s take a look at the Powerlab6. Even charging 6s, the Powerlab8 has advantages over the Powerlab6, detailed here:
