power supply and charger question

[Juliofernandez06]

hey guys, I have charger case with a HP DPS-1200FBA power supply and a Turnigy Reaktor 300W 20A charger. so far it's a great chager but I have a bunck of pulse and turnigy batteries and it's annoying having to wait for two batteries to charge. my batteries are 6s, 35C and 45C.

my question is: can i plug another charger to the power supply and charger with both chargers at the same time? don't know much about this stuff. i don't want the power supply to blow up on me lol. i was thinking on buying another reaktor but i just want to make sure i have enough power for both charger.

Not sure what the wattage of that power supply is but if it is a 1200 watt computer power supply yes just solder 2 more leads. You are currently only using 300 watts maybe at peak. I have 2000 watts at 24 volts between 2 HP server power supplies for my icharger and ran 12 volts off of one of them so I can run a seperate charger when I need to.

As long as you don't pull more out of the power supply than its rated for.

I have the same power supply (well now I have 2) and I ran my icharger 306b with 4, 5000mah 6s packs hooked up in parallel and charged at 20 amps.

Which due to the single power supply only inputting 12 volts, the charger had to boost the volatge, which means I was pulling over 40 amps out of the power supply.

It did just fine, it got warm, but no problems.

Instead of using two chargers, why not parallel charge? Some don't like it, but if care is taken, and the packs are fairly matched, then it's not an issue.

I just make sure all my pack IR'S are close and that the voltages are always the same.

If they are not, I charge the pack by itself.
