I have been looking at chargers and I am wondering how I go about hooking it up to a laptop or desktop computer for the Power Supply?
I assume having a 200W 10A is a decent setup, better then a 80W setup.
HobbyKing™ ECO6-10 200W 10A 6S Bal/Dis/Cyc Charger w/ acc. $40
The ECO6-10 has an "Auto" fuction that sets the feed current automatically.
The ECO6-10 includes an array of charging plugs and wires to suit almost any application and comes with JST-XH balancing plugs so you can charge and balance your ZIPPY/TURNIGY packs easily.
Input power is 10-18v, perfect for car batteries or a pc/laptop powersupply.
Features;
• Microprocessor controlled
• High power and High performance circuit with maximum power of 200W
• Delta-peak sensitivity (NiMH/NiCd)
• Individual cell balancing
• Li-ion, LiPo and LiFe capable
• Ni-Cd and NiMH capable
• Large range of charge currents
• Fast & Store function, allows safe storage current
• Time limit function
• Input voltage monitoring. (Protects car batteries at the field)
• Data storage (Store up to 10 packs in memory)
Specs:
Input Voltage: 10~18v
Circuit power: Max Charge: 200W / Max Discharge: 25W
Charge Current Range: .1~10.0A
Ni-MH/NiCd cells: 1~18
Li-ion/Poly cells: 1~6
Pb battery voltage: 2~24v
Weight: 480g
Dimensions: 143x119x42mm
Note: Power supply not included.
Also I got these batteries Turnigy 5000mAh 4S1P 14.8v 20C hardcase pack. Is having the hardcase a bonus or con? Will have 6 in total for 10Ah pack for around $150 plus $50 s/h.
