I'm a little lost with all the high amp chargers these days and trying to read up on them but figured I would get some opinions. I charge medium to large capacity 2s lipo's and some 4s packs from 4-6000mah, all SMC packs. Thanks for any input to help me decide what will work best for me.
If you start doing high amp charging (20+ amps) with 4s packs then wire up a couple server power supplies in series. Much easier on the charger than using a 12v power supply.

I've been charging 4s packs at 20 amps for around 3 years now with two server power supplies wired in series. Has worked well.
