Default Need Turnigy Accucell 6 Help

I received a Turnigy Accucell 6 from Hobbyking and was looking forward to charging my 4S 4000 Lipo with it, since my Accu-Cycle charger only does up to 3S LiPos. I plugged the Accucell 6 into the Accu-cycle power supply (14.5 VDC 2.5A) and got the following message: IPUT VOL ERR. Can anyone tell me what that means? My Accu-cycle charger works perfectly with that power supply, so I don't know what the problem could be unless the DC out of the Accu-cycle power supply is too noisy for it. Can anybody clue me in about this?

BTW, I did try the Turnigy Accucell 6 with a 12v car battery, and it worked fine there.

Not enough watts on the power supply. The accucycle has a relatively low output.

My Hyperion Duo would do the same thing on a power supply that worked just dandy with an accucycle, as soon as you hit the charge button it would error out. Plugged into the server power supplies we have at the field and it was fine.

It's just as Andy says, similar happening with my Accucell 6

My solution for charging at home and having a working power supply with me was one from Maxx Amps

My charger's power needs are supplied by a 400 watt PC power supply unit converted to output 12 volts.

Went out and bought an Efuel 8-15VDC, 20 amp power supply. Problem solved. Thanks for the help.
