Just a quick heads up,

Mine lasted 9 months then the inverter went up in smoke while I was charging. Lucky I was there and killed the power. I thought my charger was toast until I pulled it apart and found the inverter for the backlight had cooked itself and melted the heatshrink. I just cut it out of the charger and now it's back to normal. Be careful with it

Just email the seller, he looks to sell a lot of those so I'm certain he'll have more.

A switch installed to cut the power when the screen is not in use will help to increase the life of your backlight

Depends on what ya charging. I run 2 ICEs charging standard 1/10 scale stuff, 7.2 volt nimh and 7.4 2s lipos, at 5 to 6 amps each, with a 20 amp supply with no problems.

But if you're charging 4s lipos at 8 amps each, then no. The ICE manual says it needs a max of 15 amps. And I would not recommend running any power supply, rc or otherwise, at max rating, suggest a little safety factor for long reliable life.
