I have been searching the world over for a charger that will fit our battery needs. All the cheap chargers are just that CHEAP crap and fail or overcharge, undercharge the packs. I have always felt that a better charger could be found that wouldn’t break the bank. A charger that charged in a decent amount of time 5 amp and reached full charge.
Here is what I found and will have these chargers available soon on the website:
I
we have tested this charger with all the bms units we use, the D140, D127 and D124 among a few others without fail.
full aluminum case and heavy gauge wire, fuse for power in and a fuse for power out.
the internals look great, no low-grade components
we have 2 choices in amps the highest being 5a and 8a anything over that will need a different connector.
prices are simple
10s and 12s chargers in 5 amp are $80 plus shipping
10s and 12s chargers in 8 amp are $110 plus shipping
the obvious choice is the 5 amp charger, but some want more so there is the option of the 8 amp.
I have been waiting on these chargers for a few months now, they are OEM (from a different industry) but I have talked them into slight modifications for our use.
As the size and power of the battery packs grow (and they are growing) a better charger is necessary to charge them. Some of the high capacity cells take twice as long to charge.
5 amp and 8 amp are not the limit. a different connector will be needed in 10 amp and higher chargers.
I got a Luna advances charger they make them for 10s they are like $99 but they have the ability to adjust the amps it delivers from 1-5 amps. May be an option for way. I’m not sure if they do a bulk discount but worth a shot for a nice charger.
