iCharger 106b+

I got one of these chargers and was just wondering how the guys using them supply them with power. I notice it has to plugs to plug into a power supply for rc stuff it seems like. Wondering if anyone if just using a cord or something?

Thanks

@jo5hi3 or @Philip Clemmons will know.

It requires 12 Amps or more of 12VDC current. You can get away with less if you charge at a low amp rating. Most use a 12vdc power supply, such as the ones found at www.radiocontronics.com

I just hook it up to my car battery to charge. That way you never have to worry about forgetting a power source!

thanks for the replies, so i'm guessing something like this should be adequate?

But the one from Radiocontronics. It's cheaper and rated at 47 amps

oh that silver one ok, yeah im in canada so the shipping is $40 on it. The link i posted is a canadian hobby shop. I will try and find out of they have any similar

They are far superior to what you posted. They are high grade server rated for critical voltage accuracy, and are mega powerful lol. The other is fine if shipping is an issue, but at $40 for 47A, it's a serious bargain. I use one myself.

This is what I use to power my LIPO charger, which I use for my RC truck batteries, and for ski battery.

I use one of my backup lead acid batteries as the source and just charge that at home with the battery tender.

Like speedy said, I usually use a 12 volt battery while I'm out riding. At the rc field it's a completely different story. Regardless that charger is a great one and will charge any battery you could ever want.

I modded an old computer power supply to run my rc battery charger at home. Easy enough to do
