For $99 the Thunder T6 is a pretty dam nice charger. Menu's are setup like most other chargers like my Hyperions. The specs say it'll do 4 lipos at 5 amps, however, I found that to be wrong. It actually goes to 6 amps. It comes with 2 balancer adapters but there's room for 4 total. Time to get some major runtime in tommorrow. :D
 
Yes that is a nice charger that's the same charger that I use the power supply I bought to use at the house is really nice also I have not been disappointing not one bit.
 
I'm gonna have to invest in one. It currently takes 5 hrs to charge up both shredders for my boys. With this I could charge all four batteries at once.
 
That is almost the same charger I use, except its the Hobbyking version. I modded a PC power supply to run it at home. Nothin like charging 4-6s Lipos at 5amps at the same time :D

Got any pics? What are the pc power supplies rated at? I think I have a old pc I could rip into.

Old PC power supplies can vary alot. Open it up, and look at the specs.

Also, some without PFC will produce some really poor quality DC voltage without a decent load (say 40-50W).

I bought one for $30, it has TWO 12v rails rated for 30 Amps each.

Simply short the two correct wires on the 20/24 pin connector and your good to go!

This also gave me ample power at 3.3v, and 5v... so very useful, IMO.

Don't get the "Short the One wires". What do you mean dude??
 
oh ok, so which are the correct wires? The wires initiating the on signal I guess but which pins are they?

Works great... charges lipo's and nimh's at the same time.. Charges my 2x5000mah 3s lipos and 2x4400mah 3s lipos at the same time in 70mins...
 
That's the same power supply I have but it's a different rebrand. Hobbypartz had it at $35.

I read alot about all the differenct rebrands of this charger. Nobody has had any real problems so far.
