RE: Which Charger?
Thanx for all of your responses everyone. Ok, I have been doing a lot of research about chargers and it looks like I am going to go with the Turnigy Mega 300w 8s Balance Charger/Discharger, from Hobby King. The price is right and it allow me to charge 2 batteries at the same time. However the charger requires a power supply of at least 30 amps. Any suggestions for a power supply for this charger? What are you guys using for power supplies?
