TrakPower VR-1 Question
 
I am looking for a dual charger. I see like this one because it can be paired with its power supply and is very neat. The only complaint I see is that it can charge at 20 amps on port 1 and only 6 amps on port 2. The highest I will ever charge my batteries is 10 amps....so could I charge at 10 and 10 or does port 2 on this charger only go up to 6 amps.

Any other suggestions on dual chargers would be appreciated.

Port 2 is 6A max only. This is what I use. http://www.amain.com/product_info.ph...S-20A-400W-x-2

Are you using the power supply that is recommended? It looks like it's no longer available. What kind of power supply would I need?

Would this one work for instance?

I am using the Trakpower charger & have been for a while now, while the second port is limited to 6amp charge the first port can handle your needs and them some. For race packs I charge all the time I charge at 2C for anything else I charge on port two.

Charge quality is what I prefer together with battery info not provided on many other chargers.

I'm really looking for something that can run at least 10 amps on both ports at 1 time. I run 2 mod classes and more often than not they run back to back and my charger is running non stop throughout the day.

Venom medion

2 charge ports, each does 10 amps. You can find it for 120 currently. Comes with every cable you could possibly need, has a usb port, and 2 speakers to play music through.

You will need a power supply to power it, however a pc power supply will easily power it.

Im actually using a 13A supply right now. I can do dual 2S lipos @14.4A each side at the same time.
