The down side is they all come from over sea's so will take a week or 2 to get here, but I'm OK with that.   I've added links below for you guys to see and would love your opinion on them and tell me whether you guys think they are worth buying.....       These are the one's I am looking at and I think they are great value for money, I've done some reading as well and they seem to be just as good as the expensive one's and to be honest I've spent so much money upgrading my truck i don't want to spend loads on a charger. I've also put one of the B6 family charger as you recommended Steve but let me know what you think, this includes everyone as well   Thanks look forward to reading your opinion's   naz    Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:16:38 Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:17:46 Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:22:29 Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:23:51 Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:25:33 Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:27:42 Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:29:25 Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:30:19 Edited By Naz on 15/12/2010 03:31:02

Your solution although was great scared me and I would of probably killed myself  (Lolz) trying to construct this without any guidance as I've never done stuff like this before. I was hoping for a simpler idea but I think this was probably me thinking without any concern for safety... and I use the word earlier 'sketchy'   So I think that the Balance Charger is a great compromise and a simpler solution for me which I've turned to like and I would of never of known about if it I never posted my question on this forum so i am very grateful to everyone's help @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);Edited By Naz Nawaz on 14/12/2010 20:17:58

Will I be ok with just a 50W or the higher I go the faster it charges? Also coming across 5A/6A/7A and 10A same question as above how does all this make a difference?   Thanks again in advance and sorry for my lack of knowledge @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css); Edited By Naz Nawaz on 14/12/2010 18:41:42 Edited By Naz Nawaz on 14/12/2010 19:12:19

Now I see where he was coming from. This seems like a real neat uncomplicated and tidy solution I like Steve's idea too but for me it's a bit too complicated in terms of part's, labour and sourcing and I don't like dabbling with electric's when I personally have no experience, I'll probably mess it all up.   So let me get this right.... basically I use my Bench Top for the mains supply and then plug my battery to the Power Charger to charge? - How simple!! 'Wicked'      My other question would be I've just been on to ebay and they have some for about £20, do you think they will be any good? or shall I spend a little bit more for quality,reliability and a more recognized brand?  @import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);@import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css); Edited By Naz Nawaz on 14/12/2010 15:58:05 Edited By Naz Nawaz on 14/12/2010 15:58:58

I have read on the net some charge on a bench power supply until it goes warm and then take it off, some use a 12V bulb to regulate the charge so it doesn't cook the battery, but this sounds all very sketchy to me. So if anyone is a bit techie when it comes to electric's I'd love to hear your thought's on this   naz  @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css); Edited By Naz Nawaz on 14/12/2010 13:37:13 Edited By Naz Nawaz on 14/12/2010 13:39:03 Edited By Naz Nawaz on 14/12/2010 13:54:03

Hi Looking for some advise from guys who have experience or any feedback will help. Right.... basically I have a DC Regulator lying around and I want to see if I can make some use of it..... I've read hear and there that this is possible but not too sure if it can be done realistically. What I want to do is charge a 7.2v stick battery using my DC Regulater - specifications are   Input Voltage                  2.30v - 50hz Output Voltage               13.8V DC Output Curent               7A Continuous                                         10A 50% Duty Cycle                                          12A   Surge   Fuse on Rear Panel       F 2A 250V Internal Fuse                     F 1A 250V    This is all the info infront of unit.    If I need to buy something to regulate the amps or voltage so it doesn't cook or blow up my batteries, please tell me what i need exactly as I am clueless about this.   By the way the battery is for my roto start for my nitro truck so anxious to hear what advice you guys have to give.   Thanks a bunch in advance    naz                     @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);
