I bought the Turnigy Reakto 2X300w charger.

Just going to be charging 2S batts for now. But wanted something able to go bigger if need be later.

Looking at power supplys though...

1. 12v...85A so 1000W

2. 12V....62A so 750ish Watts.

So question is can either one of these work and push both channels to 20 amps if needed as I see other people talking about needing higher Volts but the amps are less. But since these 2 power supply have pretty high amp rating it should be able to work even at 12V without having to buy say 2( 12VX30 amp) to give me 24V supply. Hope this all makes sense. I can probably get another one of the above mentioned supplies later but can only afford one right now after getting charger and other parts...

Search on Ebay for DELL and HP server PSU's. They are 12v and arround 60A for just a 30 dollar to find.

The ones I mentioned are Server PSU's.

Just wondering if I only need 1 or do I need 2

IF CHARGING AT 12VOLTS YOU WILL LOSE AN AMP OR TWO OFF THE 20 AMP MAX TO GET THE MOST THRU YOU NORMALLY NEED 24 VOLTS BUT IT IS NOT A SIGNIFICAT AMOUNT STICK WITH ONE POWER SUPPLY AND EITHER ONE WILL BE MORE THAN ENOUPH

sikeo NO.. you will need over 18v to get the needed 20 amps off each channel ur manual tell you all this info..

buy 2-12v cps with 25 amps each n ull get what you need

Okay,,,so if I stick with the one I picked it should still be enough to allow the charger to do 10 amp per channel at least. Thats all I need for now.
