What's the best charger? Power House?

[fcveras]

Hi Guys,

I have been using PL-8 for over an year and I am really satisfied.
But, as usually, want to try something different, do you have any tip?

Didn't find anywhere something similar...

What do you have?

Thanks!

Here are my solutions and also read the sticky (if you haven't).

What Charger? What Power Supply?

FMA and iChargers are the tops these days. Both make high power DUOs... the end of the line! I currently love my iChargers 4010Duo and have no complaints. I didn't care for my PL6 so I sold it.

I use dual deep cycles ($90 each) for 95% of my charging so I can fly and charge at the same time and save money by getting by only 2 lipos per model... really counts when you are using $300 12s stick packs.

Power supplies at www.feathermerchantrc.com are excellent and come ready to go.. these are server supplies.. designed for 24/7/365 use.. very high end. I bought the 24V47A version for home use.

So a Dual FMA or 4010 is going to be your options.

My solution for 95% of my charging today.

iCharger 4010 Duo. A little tour of Chernobyl (0 min 56 sec)

I thoroughly enjoy the iCharger DUO's screen and the information they deliver at a glance. There are a number of DUO models now and FMA also makes a PL8 DUO.. excellent charger.

Until maybe a year ago, your PL8 was pretty much the best and most powerful charger on the market.

If you just need/want more power, I'd look at the Dual PL8.

If you also want something different, I'd look at the iCharger Duo chargers. If you need a LOT of power (2000W), the 4010Duo. If you can get by with less (1400W), the 406Duo should still be a good choice, assuming you don't have anything greater than 6S.

I have the 1300W 308Duo, which will go up to 8S.
