bought an ice charger HELP
 

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO USE MY NEW ICE CHARGER

WERE IS THE POWER CORD

DO I NEED TO GET AN ADAPTER TO PLUG INTO WALL

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT

THANKS DOMINIC

You have to buy a power supply. Lrp makes a good one if you have just the one charger than all u need is a 5amp power supply. Novac makes a black box its 9amp that was my first tell i got 2 chargers.

thanks i appreciate ur help

what do these things run cost wise

You're going to want at least a 10 amp power supply for that. The cheapest around new are 50-60 bucks for the Ofna or Integy models.

No need for a 10amp unless you are going to charge your packs at 10amp. If thats the case u might want to buy alot of packs they wont last long at that rate.

Copied from the Manufacturer's Spec Sheet..........


To achieve ICE's absolute maximum output power capabilities the
DC power source must be capable of delivering at least 15A while
maintaining 12V DC (although 12.5A is enough for most functions).

Perhaps he'd like to charge something at 7-8 amps or use the many other functions of the ICE that require a little more juice.

Can you run an ICE on 5amps.....yes.
Would I.......no.

5amp power supply maybe you are able to charge 2s lipo....

how about 4s lipo with 5amp charging? :smile:

i am using a 15amp power supply:sneaky:

There are 3 power supplies shown here. I use the 20amp, single outlet. I made my own distribution box so I can run two chargers from it at once.

There is some inefficiency/loss in any charger, if you need to charge at 5amps, you power supply needs to be rated for more than 5amps.

There are a lot of power supplies out there, for something real cheap if you don't mind int'l shipping, check out HobbyCity's site. Their 5amp supply (laptop power supply) is rated 5a, but has been tested at 6+a. Its about $10 IIRC.

thanks to everyone on there help and sugestions:):):)
