Kinda pricey for the rated output...BUT... when you consider that it already includes a built in supply and runs directly off AC in the first place, that makes things a lot easier for folks who might not have a supply yet.
Also keep in mind that charger inefficiency is calculated at 25%, so if it were a DC-only charger then 400W + 25% = 500W supply... however that charger already includes a supply with it
I have a lot of research & budget planing to do but I would like to future proof my gear for at least 5 years but preferably more
On average for my racing I have 3 off road buggies 1/10 2wd & 4wd & 1/8 ( I'm using 2 x 2s instead of a 4s & practice 3s ) On road mini's 2s crawlers 2s & 3s but my largest battery is 6000mAh
