ICHARGER 308 Duo
Looks like there is a new charger on the way from iCharger:
http://www.progressiverc.com/icharger-308duo.html http://www.progressiverc.com/media/c...3/0/308duo.png Specifications Input voltage range: 10-30V DC Input current limit: 65A Maximum charge power capacity: 1300W @ >23.5V (800W max per channel) Charge current range: 0.05-30.0A per channel, or up to 50A in synchronous mode Discharge power capacity: 70W per channel, or up to 120W in synchronous mode Maximum regenerative discharge: 800W per channel, or up to 1300W in synchronous mode Current drain for balancing: 1.2A per channel, or up to 2.4A in synchronous mode Balance accuracy: 10mV LiPo/LiIo/LiFe: 1-8 series per channel NiCd/NiMH battery cell count: 1-25 series per channel Pb battery cell count: 1-18 series per channel PC Connectivity: USB port Weight: 910g Dimensions (LxWxD): 171x118x59 mm Warranty: 1 year |
That's a good price. I'm definitely interested.

Hmm...no mention of internal resistance measurement. Do we think it has it?
Edit: That said looking over the 4010 specs it doesn't claim to have it either so... |
My old icharger had resistance and that was the lowest model

click here (jun-si website) for more info.. :)

Can measure not only the internal resistance of the entire battery pack, but also measure the internal resistance of each cell within the lithium battery. |

Both have it. My 4010 gives IR measurment, I can verify that for sure. Here is from Daghan's link:
Grasschopper, did you end up deciding on what to do? And now of course I'm thinking hard about buying this to replace my dual charger. I wasn't going to drop the coin for the 4010 but $70 cheaper and I think I'm in. 4S is the highest I will ever go as far as I know so I don't need the 10S 2000W capability...or the 8S 1300W of this unit for that matter. But this one is at a price I can stomach. So once this hits the streets (ok AMain) I will sell my Turnigy ProTek combo and get this and a server PS to drive it. And I'll still have my PL6. |
Splooge...
Right when I'm thinking the 4010DUO is a lot overkill for RC car general use, and was thinking the Powerlab 6 is also a touch overkill (and kind of expensive), a 306B was looking good to me, now this falls into a sweet middle ground, with what looks like great value for a very good duel channel charger... |
I'm in for one, pre ordered from progressive! This is a great price as I don't need much higher than 4s.

What type of power supply would handle a 2x30amps charge?

I really like meanwell, I'm using a 350w 24v PS from the brand since 3 years and it never failed (it's the only one I have ever bought actually). That's paired with a hyperion 720i but I have heard good things about icharger I'm looking for a charger that could handle about 15A x2 considering I charge my 3300mah lipos at 4C. how do you calculate the necessary wattage? |

IIRC: Amps x Volts = Watts http://www.supercircuits.com/resourc...amps-converter |

feathermerchantrc.com has a 24v 47amp power supply that would also match up well to the 308 duo. And it's only $120 vs. the meanwell's $400. Progressive RC has $200-ish Power Supplies that would also work, you just would not be able to charge at more than 20 amps per side.

So I have a Muchmore PS rated at 2x22A @ 12V, how much will I be able to charge with using this charger?
