I totally get the "bang for the buck" scenario. I live by the server supply mod mentality. A name brand supply of any real watts gets very expensive quickly. I personally put some value in form. Loud, heavy, and large aren't things I look for in a carry rig. That's my opinion, but not exactly what I was trying to imply.

I'm encouraging people to analyze what they currently have. In a lot of cases there's no need to spend the money on something they technically might already have.

I blew a guys mind when I explained that his old "15 amp" supply actually had the wattage to charge his 1s batteries at 20 amps. This is the type of guy I'm trying to help.

Parallel charging a few 4s batteries at 40A, yes, we're talking serious hardware upgrades.
