Wow, today I learned! This would save me a bunch of time during track setup. I think I'm going to get one of these!

I was intrested in getting a s6 or x6. But the max input amps is only rated at 35 amps? My power supply I have used with many chargers is 950 watts ,13.4 dv 55amps. An I missing something. Has anyone used such a power supply with those chargers. Hate to get 1 and blow it right away. Thanks

Your PS won't hurt it. It just means the unit will max at at bringing 35 amps in. You could hook it up to a 12v 5000 amp PS and it would be fine.

We use ours on 60 amps power supplies all the time.

the x6/s6 will work fine. It just means you won’t get full power with this charger running on this power supply. 30amps input limit time 13 volt from the power supply will give the charger a max power of about 450 watts of charging power. Although the x6 is capable of 800watts of power this power supply cannot supply it since the volts are too low on the power supply.

Hey guys. I got my icharger x6. I am really liking it. It was kinda fun checking all my packs irs and watching how discharging and charging was effecting my ir readings. I kinda want to try parallel charging with it. I race 13.5 and 17.5. Burn about 1200 and 1900 ish out of 6000mah packs. I know some of the basics. Same cell count, they kinda need to be around same voltage and mah total close. Any advice on parallel boards and such. Huge thanks. Update. I used my charger tonight at race. It charged the batterys so much faster than my old charger. I do not think parallel charging is necessary. Thanks

What is the max 2 cell discharge rate of the 4010 without a resistor bank?

I think it's 10A, unless you merge two channels together in sync mode.

the icharger 4010 has the most inter discharge power out of any charger that I know of. It has a max of 130watts of discharge per channel and a max of 200 watts when combined when using both channels. So assuming your discharging a fully charged 8.4volts 2s battery 130 watts is a 15amps+ discharge.

the 406 only gets you 80 watts of discharge power. Still pretty good. Good for about 10 amps of discharge power.

The 4010 does about 16-18a discharge on a 2s pack at full tilt. The amps start off at about 16a on a full pack and as the voltage goes down it ramps up to 17 and then 18a near the end. Thats the Wattage limit increasing amps as voltage lowers.

Its very effective and most of the time it makes it good enough for a club race and you don't need your external 40a resistor bank.

You set the charger up to let you discharge one battery into the second battery that is charging and you can use the full discharge current available to the individual channel for the 4010 (idk what it is off the top of my head as I have a 406 as you can see). Here you can see my 406 discharging one battery at 39.8A while charging the other at 35A. Additionally, because this is a setting in the discharge parameters you can charge and discharge on either channel. Instead of selecting the "resistor or bulbs" setting, select "charge battery" instead. You start the discharge first, and the charger will wait for you to start charging on the other channel. This is what makes a dual channel charger so much better than two single chargers. Well, that and the ability to cycle batteries without having to disconnect anything or touch the charger mid-cycle.
