I have a Duratrax Flashpoint Infrared Temperature Gauge it seems to work very well, any thoughts?

Also I have a Radio Shack power supply thats 10 amps, that they don't seem to carry anymore this is the closest I can find on there website and it's 15 amps, the 10 amp I have should be enough for one charger?

IR guns seem to all be close, Adam has the Duratrax one and I have another brand and they read about 2C out from each other so thats pretty close.
Again its all in the watts, 13.8V (typical of commericial supplies, PC supplies are 12-12.5V) @ 10A is 138W output.....10s (42V peak) charging away at 5A is 210W consumption....so you would need 2 supplies to charge a complete pack.
18A supplies will deal with 5s packs at upwards of 6A without problems.
If you want a serious supply check out these....

$122 but capable of charging x2 10s packs @ 5A. They also sell a 55A model which will allow me to do x2 10s packs @ 5A and a single 10s pack @ 3A.
