I want to charge 25C 4000mAh Lipo batteries at a 5C rate.

That means I need a charger capable of 20 amp charge current.

This charger can do that...

Also, it needs a power supply that is rated above 360 Watts...


BUT, if I only plan to charge the battery mentioned above(one at a time), I will only use around 170 Watts. In other words, the charger wont be demanding more than 170 Watts. Therefore, I wont need a high watt power supply if my charger isnt demanding that much watts.

So do i need a power supply that is rated at 210 Watts? or 360 Watts?

This PS is rated at 350 Watts. Could i squeeze by with it?
