What would be a good power supply to go along with the TP 1010C charger? is a 6 Amp Power supply enough for charging needs?

This is the one I use, its switching-type and 23A, runs very cool.

The one you linked to is way too expensive for what you get.

Depends on your needs ... are you going to use the charger at it's max rated output or are you only going to charge small (3s 2100 mah) packs?

The charger can output 220 Watts ... let's assume 80% efficiency, that's 275 Watts input power.
275W / 13.8VDC = 20 Amps

So if you want to run only this charger at max output, you should look for a power supply capable of outputting a minimum of 20 Amps @ 13.8VDC...

universal radio is a good place to look, another of my favorites is here:

I use the Alinco DM330, it supplies 30 Amps continuous, enough to run several chargers and some amateur radio equipment simultaneously.

Click on the link. This is the one I am using with my Hyperion and it can do it all.

Thanks for all the help guys, and especially to march for the helpful explanation of the concept behind it.
