Hey guys,
To charge a diy board on the go you always need to open the case, disconnect the battery, connect to the charger and balance leads,... You also need to have the charger+power supply. To charge it on the go and take the charger with you in a backpack its a real hassle. I was wonder if anyone had thought about a built in charger. What if we build this in the board http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__73941__Turnigy_B6_Compact_50W_5A_Automatic_Balance_Charger_2_6S_Lipoly.html And then you just need a power supply (laptop type) and connect it, just like the boosted board. I know it's only 50 watts but it still would charge a 6S battery at about 2 amps..
Any thoughts on this? Or some other charging ideas?
