I bought a GT Power A-6-10 right before last XMas and its been a solid charger for me. I routinely charge the pair of 2S 5000mah Neus I run in my Flux at 10amps with them in parallel. My mrevo 3S lipos are also charged in parallel on the GT Power charger at 2C. I've not had any problems. I paid $80 for mine and I'm not sure wha tthe diff is in the one HC/HK is selling now for only $50. Obviously, there has to be some diff.


The 6S 5000MAH lipo takes 25.2v x 5amps = 126watts for a 1C charge. Your power supply can run a charger that has 265watt power output at max charger power output (this allows for a 20% charger inefficiency). The Hyperion 0720iNet3 with its 250watts and 20amp max charge would be well suited as would the iCharger 106B, but this charger only has a 10amp max charge rate.

See my other reply for links to the iChargers and Hyperions.
