4s charger?
 
I picked up my first ebuggy, mp9e, came with smc 6500mah 4s battery. Im looking for a good charger for these batteries, I plan on picking up some more and sticking with them. Been looking at revolectrix powerlab 6, and chargery power s600. Is there a better choice for what I need?

The Revoletrix chargers are good. They are supposed to balance fast. That PS would be marginal with that charger unless you are not looking to charge at high amps. It is only rated at 18v and 33a. To get the most out a Revoletrix, that is to use the full 1000w, you should run a 24v 50a min power supply. How high of an amp rate do plan on charging with it?

Lets keep it all in the same place.

How many batteries do you plan on charging at the same time?

You can't beat the icharger 4010 duo.

Money wise? That powerlab is pretty impressive. Check out feather merchant for a power supply. Make sure you get the right board for this.

I sent an email to Feather Merchant to see what power supply he recommends, thanks.
Planning on the Revolectrix MPA multi port board

He has two 12v supplies modded and ran in series for 24v dc. I have one of his 12v server supplies and have not had a problem yet. Knock on wood.

I have had great success with my Hitec X4. Really easy to use.
