Progressive RC the importer and maintenance and repair for Icharger started selling these 20 Amp chargers. You would need a power supply. But they are very small but powerful.

Thanks, I saw a few of those at the track. After a PS i'd be over $150 and have two components to carry for charging. Definitely want an AC/DC charger.

Not neccessarily true, you can use power supplies like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Volt-75-A...oAAOSw9eVXVmaI , I have one myself, & it's prefect, very small & light, & stays cool at all times. Hard to beat for the price....

That looks like a modified server power supply. Either way at $55ish for that and 75+ for a charger i'm at at least $125 and two components. I'm going to give that cheapy charger a go and see how it treats me. At under 50 shipped it'll probably die in a year but we'll see. I'm a wannabe EE so I'm sure I can fix anything that happens to it as it's just a basic charging circuit w/ voltage monitoring and cutoff I'm guessing.

Yes, those are refurbished server power supplies, I have one of them myself, works beautifully....
