If you geta charger that takes care of the 6S, the rcvr batts will automatically be covered since they only need to charge at 1amp.

For a 6S lipo at 1C charge rate, power needed is 25.2v x 5a = 126watts. A 2C charge rate would require 252watts. If you're absolutely certain you'd never consider 2C charging, then 200watts would be the minimum although you could get by with a 150watt charger.

The iCharger for 1C charging would be their minimum power charger, the 106B which is 250watts with a 10amp max charge rate. They don't have a 'smaller' charger, so this would be good for either 1C or 2C charging of your 6S lipo. It will do the rcvr pacs as well.



I'm sure you know teh AC-6 is a 50watt charger. It will charge a 6S, its rated for that cell count. It will take a while since with a 50watt limit, current would just be 50watt/25.2v = 1.98amps. Instead of about an hour, I'd estimate it'd take somewhere between 2.5 - 3hrs. This is worst case since when the lipo first starts charging, the voltage will be lower and the charger's charge current will be a little higher.

Yeah I know, but who wants to wait 2+ hours for a charge?

Duster_360 has the right idea, I would go with a minimum power handling capacity of 200W. I'm also on board with getting the new 1000W iCharger once my 106B+ can't meet my needs (which hopefully won't be for awhile, but with the way battery tech is increasing who knows?) Can't really go wrong with any of the iCharger line-up. Look at it as an investment, like any piece of equipment in this hobby, and spend the money for something that will last.

P.S. I did buy one of the cheap 50W chargers as my first charger and I got rid of it after 2 weeks because it just couldn't keep up with my lipo packs. Don't make the same mistake.
