You could have a 1,000,000 amp PS and you would still only discharge up to the chargers internal capability. Look at your dashboard if your charger has it to see how much your PS is giving during discharge... zero.
I get about a 7a discharge rate without "regenerative discharge" (hooked up to a battery) and 40a with.

Discharging on the icharger 4010 has nothing to do with the power supply. When you discharge you are dumping energy. In this case if you're discharging while connected to a power supply, you are dumping energy in the form of heat into the charger. Power supplies only handle output not input. Car batteries can handle input (recharging) and output, that's why the icharger needs a car battery to discharge over 20amps (regenerative discharging).

I'm asking if this is of any benefit because carrying a car battery to the track is a bit much.... I only run Stock... so I'm not sure that getting them any warmer then a discharge then right into a charge is needed... Just asking... trying to understand... I get the benefits of charging at 20 or more amps, it clearly shows up in the IR of the battery....
Rather then a car battery what about the old days of a light strip??? Yes it would take 3 of them together....

Hello,
I m looking to buy an icharger 3010 b with a 12 v 40 amp power supply.
Is it able to charge a 2S lipo at 30 amp ?
Or will i have to switch to a 24 v powersupply
Thanks

I one up your batman with a
So Mason, you need 8.4 x 30 to get a watt rating of 252 and then you need a pad... you dont want to max out your PS so safely a 12v PS can do 30a on a 2 cell.
Your PS will do 480 watts peaked out.
correct Mr RcTech?

Has anyone found if there is an advantage to charging at 20+ amps and and discharging at the same rate or higher than what the average Joe is doing when charging between 7-10 amps? I know it charging at a high rate will charge a lot quicker, but what is the overall power advantage of doing that?
Which charger are people using that charges at a high rate and also a great charger? What I currently have is a TP 610.
