Am I able to use my 12 volt car battery charger as the 12 volt supply for my lipo battery charger? The car battery charger is able to supply a high amperage but the 12 volts output could be ‘dirty power’ as all that is done to the output from the transformer is rectify it to DC, there is no voltage stabilization at all. The actual voltage coming from the transformer is 14 to 15 volts DC. Thank you for your assistance.

You answered your own question.

The power is dirty and should not be used to power a LiPo charger.

Thank you, I suspected that, but I was holding on to the tenoushope that the lipo chargers internals may have 'smoothed' things out. Thanks David

I understand that a battery will smooth things out for you. Have you got a car?
Perhaps I am wrong?

Yes a 12 volt car battery will give a 'smooth' supply of power, and can be recharged by the 12 volt battery charger. However I was wondering if I could save a few $s by bypassing the car battery. I can't. Thanks David
