Default Charger for bulk parallel charging

Hey there

What charger will be able to charge the whole setup at once?
I will probably add another pack so it will be 4 packs of 12s.

Will a 24v 41a power supply be enough?

Edit:

NVM, solved.
Get Thunder 1220 and charge 6 packs in parallel.

Hyperion EOS 1420i NET3 can do up to 14S. Does require a split balancer connection (which I hope you plan on using), up to 7S+7S.

But with either charge times will be fairly long. If that is an issue consider stepping up to a iCharger 4010 Duo or PowerLab 8X2.

The 24V 41A power supply would be enough for the Hyperion. Not enough to achieve full power out of the iCharger or PowerLab.

Note the Thunder appears to be limited to a 15V max input voltage.

Yeah will be using split balancer connection and converters.
The hyperion seems to be discontinued (for a good reason?)
Unfortunately the last two are way over my budget.
I'm ok with a 3h charge time.

The thunder is 350w, 4s are 16.6v at 4.15 (my voltage limit) so I should get 21a... right?
21a for 60ah is 3 hours.

Edit:


BTW what about the Turnigy MEGA 400Wx2 Battery Charger/Discharger :

Charging Output: 2 x 400w (800W Total)
Input Voltage: 12~18v DC
Charge Current Range: 0.1~20.0A
Discharge Current: 0.1~5.0A
Discharge Power: 2x25watt
Balance Current Drain: 200mAh/cell
Li-XX Cell Count: 1~6s
Ni-XX Cell Count: 1~15s
Pb Battery Voltage: 2~20v
Battery Setup Memories: 10
Intelligent Temp Control: Yes
Cooling: Dual Fan
Weight: 1211g
Dimensions: 200x140x55mm

I think this one will work well with the setup

Edit2:

Ah didnt notice the low voltage.
Now where do I find a fitting power supply?
