Hey, im wondering if you can run a lathe or break in motors with this charger. I was thinking that maybe since you can adjust so many things, such as number of cells, mah, amp, etc. maybe there were two different setting you could use to either break in a motor or run a comme lathe. Or is the only possible route to by that Indi Dynov2 which can run off the built in 14v power supply? Thanks!

there is no motor run feature for that charger... you'll need the motor dyno2 and you can plug that in from the back of the charger's built in power supply.

So there's no comme lathes that run off a 14 amp power supply?

yes there is and I have... the new Integy superlathe3 can be directly hooked up to any power supply.. it's equiped with a 12v 55turn drive motor.

Well I could use that....The Integy 16x9 has a build in 14 amp power supply in the back. I could take alligator clips from that to the lathe . I just couldn't break in motors (but i could get a pulsar for that) Does the $75 pulsar have a motor break in feature?

Yes, the Pulsar as a motor run feature.

I used a 16x9 with Pulsar running of the 14A ps for a long time....

Worked great.

Has anyone found any problems running a charger from the PS off the back of the 16x9? i just got one, and i tried it last night. went to plug my 16X5 charger into the banana plugs about the 110v socket and nothing happens? Id love to be able to leave my old PS in my pitbox, but doesnt look like i can get it running? Is there anyway we have to 'switch on' the 12v from the powersupply on the back? And info would be greatly appreciated and yes i read the instructions... nothing about the 12v output from the powersupply.

did you connect to the 12v after you powered up the 16x9?

Somebody please help him. If he can get that to work then there's a small chance that I can borrow his PS at the races.

First try yes, second try i switched off the 16x9 and plugged in the charger in the 12v and still nothing. does it require really good banana plugs? i think mine a cheap radioshack plugs???

Scott once i get it woprking properly and am happy with it, ill probably sell the powersupply

I opened the case and rerouted the wires from the power supply, that's what I did and Viola!

Can i get a bit more information? So in stock form, the two banana sockets dont supply 12v output? what did u change and how? Thanks

RickyIS300

I think the plugs in the back is for 12V input originally and there is some sort of protection circuit. I simply redo the wiring so that the 12V plugs, power supply and the charger main board are parallel. Basically just all 3 items hookup to the 12V power supply output.

Do i have this right - ?

The 110v cord and socket run into the powersupply. The front end, the actual charger, runs off this powersupply, using the 12v from it. So all your saying is re-wire the banana plugs to come off this 12v from the powersupply inside?

To be honest, this doesnt sound like the correct way to go. I mean, integy have produced this charger supposedly with a 12v powersupply, to supply power to an additional charger/dyno/lathe. So in order to be able to *actually* use the powersupply for other products, other that the original charger, you have to pull apart the charger and re-wire it?!!! something seems wrong here. I will be seriously unimpressed if this is infact the only way to use an additional charger off the 16x9v6. ANYONE FROM INTEGY OUT THERE?????
