Hi all,
Really not sure if this is the right area to post this, please move if I got it wrong
Anyway seems I have got by without one of these for years using ex converted PC power supplies and my trusty Turnigy Accucell but these things seem cheap.
As well as general use and to power my Accucell etc I want for testing/charging individual cells and my 5s and 10s ebike packs. This tells me I need a min of 30v. Current wise would you suggest
3 or 5 Amp min ?
I dont really remember any time I have gone as high as 5A (my Accucel can be used for that) so I think 3A will be enough. Although 30V would probably be ok the 60V ones would be good for bulk charging a complete pack if my
power block charger fails.
I quite like the ones where you can switch output off and on before setting CC or CV.
So these are the choices

The first is cheap VERY and I have seen these as low as £45!
The last two seem to meet my latter requirements. I have been trying this one without fine adjustment and dont like it much so probably want fine adjustment too. The screen is too small
and the buttons too fidly.
