    Charger power source question

    I have the turnigy accucel-6 and it has been a great charger, but I found this one at hobbyking and it looks pretty decent, and much more powerful.



    However, I need a power source. Where could I get a decent powersource inexpensively? The recommended one on hobbyking has horrid ratings so I was wondering if there are any others that are more reliable.

    Thanks

    You can make one from a PC power supply and a few bucks in parts from radio shack.

      Before going ghetto make certain you know the maximum amps you will be using when charging. Size the power supply to be a minimum of 33% greater - nothing worse than the charger kicking off in the middle of a charge due to inadequate input power.

      You may also want to consider that in the future you may use a larger charger or two of them at the same time. That may convince you to buy a larger charger than you need today and save you from buying twice. If you still want to go ghetto:

        Yeah, I'm not sure I want to do anything too complex in this. The accucel charger uses what looks like a normal laptop power converter only it fits the accucel requirements. That's is all I need.

        Even alot of the other name brand chagers I've seen have external power sources.
