Progressive RC charging combo

I received my new Powerlab 8 and 1000 watt PS today mounted in a carrying case. Check out the photos. These guys were awesome to deal with. This is my first Powerlab and opportunity to parallel charge. Let the journey begin!!!

Nice. I love my Progressive RC case, deck and accessories.

I already had a MeanWell Power supply that I mounted below the charging deck and mounted my Thunderpower 820 on the lid. Nice and portable.

Awesome! I hope the MeanWell works great.

I hope the MeanWell works great.

It has for over a year now. They're built like tanks.

Sweet, I just rebuilt my case with a Progressive deck, two PL 8's, two 24v MeanWells, and a 25a 12v power supply. Added a USB charger, meters, switches and lights for fun. Came in at 30 lbs. Sure love my Powerlabs with their MPA boards.

Pescador,

Wow! What an amazing set-up. I guess you do everything moderately? LOL
I'm going to check and see if you have pictures in the gallery. I can only imagine what your boats look like.
I do not see banana plug extensions coming out of the chargers? I'm assuming you run the extensions under the plexi-glass and they plug underneath the panel on the left? Those ports look like they have an on and off Togo switch?
Why would you switch the red and black ports? Where does the balance extension plug exit the plexi-glass?

Thanks for your help. I found out I can store my accessories by using Velcro under the lid. Feels great to get organized.

Hey thanks, the power and balance wires go through the same holes as your deck. The power bar on the left is just for 12v accessories like battery warmers or if someone has a 12v charger they want to plug in. I wanted to try and recess the chargers like yours so I'd still have some room on the deck to charge. Here's my boards and adapters :)
Not too many FE boats in the gallery but I've got a Sport 40 (Q sport hydro) ready for paint that should be fun.
