before you start gettin rowdy there buck, i would never pay close to a grand for a charger!! c'mon now. i only got it because of the amazing deal i got. it couldnt be passed up. in great condition for $200. It just needed a firmware update.
2 12V batteries in series gives you 24V, the exact same output the Meanwell power supply gives to power your charger. Connecting your charger directly to the batteries wired in series is the most efficient way to charge.
A suitable case for the 4010 is ~$150, the charger itself is $350, a power supply capable of supplying enough power to charge is ~$250...thats $750 right there. Add in all the other miscellaneous hardware and wires should be close to $1K. ProgressiveRC sells a 4010 charging case for over $1k. $200 for everything is a very good deal.
