Hey guys, Just sold my old charger, Looking to get a new one, Curently im running Reedy 5500mah 2S LiPo's. I have 2 questions.

One, is an icharger a good choice for what im using it for? or is their a better option. ( I was using a Multiplex before, Looking at the new protek 65 but it doesnt seem to be an upgrade from what i had before)

And two will my LRP 14Amp 13.8v Power supply handle the charger?

Any help would be great! Thanks!

Ichargers are well priced and work very well

Decide which model you need and pick a power supply to match

Your LRP supply will allow you to charge up to 150 watts or so

Cheers

You need to charge at 5.5amps (1C rate), so charger should have a minimum 10amps charge rate. The power required for a 2S is only 46watts and your PS can easily handle that.

106b will do what you require.

the 106b is what i was thinking of using, just wasnt sure if my LRP Power supply would handle it... But I didnt even think that the 2s will only use about 50 watts..

Thanks!!

5.5amps x 8.4v = 46.2watts - thats all.


The power in charging 2S doesn't start to mount up until you start charging at higher charge C rates, 2C (11amps) - 92watts, 3C (16.5amps) - 139watts, 4C (22amps) -185watts and 5C (27.5amps) - 231watts. Your lipos have to be rated for the higher charge C rates though.I don't beleive Reedy is into higher C rate charging though.
