Looking for a Power Supply
 
My power supply crapped out and I need a new one. I am looking for something that can power two chargers.

I currently have a Hyperion EOS 0606i charger and am planning on getting another one at some point and I usually run 5000MaH 35C batteries.

Now I would like to have something that will be able to charge batteries in the future, 6000, 7000 etc.

Anybody have any ideas?

Others say the Pyramid stuff is good but I don't have a link for them. For me the Pyramid with shipping was close enough in price for me to go with the Team Checkpoint because it had the two outputs and it gave my LHS another sale.

Pyramid - solid reputation, reasonable price -

minicooper - how much?? Looked and couldn't figure out how to find price which usually means its expensive...?? These are lab grade, way overkill for charging RC batts.

They are right around $200 give or take a few bucks.

I've been using a Rivergate 30 amp for the last 17 years without so much as a hiccup. It costs a bit more up front, but it'll live forever.

Thanks.....thats kind of what I had expected. I'm using a Rad Shack 25a and a ProPeak 20a right now and my next one will be a 30a Pyramid.

ehh... why would you spend tha tmuch on a PSU??

go look for deal on computer ATX power supplies with single or dual 12V rails.

I bought a dual rail 500W ATX PSU, that's 85% efficient, with modular cables, and made my own connector.

After rebate it costed me 35 bucks. and it supports 2 X 12v 20A rails.

these computer PSU will be more stable than any of the above mentioned.

You can get a mini ATX aluminum case while you're add it and bulid your own chargin station.
