Hi


What is a good charger with a para board to charge 6 5000 lipo?


Thanks

Will they be made into 10s packs?

Personal favourites are the iChargers (probably mentioned it before, but obviously lots of other makes out there) in combination with a Chargery power supply.

I found these calculators useful food for thought.

Revolectrix Powelab pl6 works well

Do you want to future proof, in that, might you want to charge 10s packs in the future?

Definitely wouldn't go for 10S packs.  Two 5S packs for me every time.  Why? If a cell goes down on a 10S pack that's all gone, whereas with 2 x 5S packs you still have one 5S pack that you can buddy up with another.  Also, you don't need a 10S charger so it's much cheaper.


I use the Fusion Emperor with their 600 watt power supply.  I have two sets of these.  I can charge four flight packs concurrently with that setup in one hour.  I bought the charger and PSU second hand and they are excellent value.  You can use the charger in the field as well provided you have a decent 12 v/24 v power supply.

When I said 10s, I meant two 5s packs in series, then a 10s charger can be used without having to disconnect the packs.

Lots of options 😀

Hi Steve.
I use the same charger as Peter but use an 1150W power supply from Coolice.co uk. Its done a good job for me for a couple if years now.
