i found this. I’m confused on whether it’s the actual power supply or just an adapter, from the reviews it seems like it’s the whole thing. I can’t tell if it’s 24 or 12v though.
from my understanding I need 24v to charge 4s batteries to the full capacity of the iCharger x6. Especially since I will only be allowed to charge one battery at a time, unless I connect them in series but given that one will be plugged into the car while the other charges, I don’t know if that’s really a problem.
That power supply should work just fine. It is an HP server power supply. Has the connector for the icharger x6. It is 12v, but that will be fine to charge your 4s battery. It is the wattage that matters, amps x volts. So 16.8v (full charged 4s pack) at 10a = roughly 170 watts. That power supply is rated at 1200 watts, generally it is best not to exceed 80% of that. Gives you plenty of room.
Charging a 5200 mah battery at 10 amps will take about 30 minutes for a full charge. Likely less because you probably won't drain the battery all the way.
