Powersupply question
#1
http://www.cwc-group.com/sp302.html
I've got about 20 of these 300watt powersupplies sitting in my garage and I'm looking at the output ratings +3.3v @ 18amp +5v @ 15a +12v @ 20amp -12v @ 1a +5vsb @ 2amp
My question is, can I use these
? It'd be nice to build my own powersupply for a Hyperion 1420i I'm thinking about picking up that runs @ 24v I'm assuming I would be a combined power with 2 of these @ 600watt @ 40amp? Which would be more then enough to charge 2s lipo 6000mah @ 5c volts X amps=watts correct??

Assuming this is written as you intended it, 5C = 30 amps, more than the 1420 can do (20A). If you meant 5 amps, no problem.
5A: 5A x 8.4V = 42 watts
20A: 20A x 8.4V = 168 watts
Don't forget the charger requires some power itself, usually safe to figure on about 80% efficient. So about 52.5 and 210 watts from the supply respectively.
