I am using a YZ Power charger, works pretty well, and it has an internal fan.

Ok cool and what plug are you using for the charging port and where I can buy it Thank you

I am using a standard XT-60 connector but there are many connectors on ebay that would work too

@atenner @ShutterShock Did you take them apart to check if voltage and amperage are adjustable?

I just checked and it is not. Not really surprising at the price point I bought it at.

I’ve not checked mine, I’ll get a look

i dont really want to open a new thread sincei have the same question, what chargers are people using for their 12s builds. i came across this charger but it states 50.4v and 44.4v, though im using 30Q cells in 12s7p config and that comes to 3.7v per cell if it really does charge to 44.4v is their a charger similar to this one that anyone would recommend. or would this charger be fine to use ?

Get a 50.4v charger. That means that it is charging every cell to 4.2, which is what you want @krazor

would you be able to link me the charger you use please. im having trouble finding any above 4 amp most are 1.5-3 amp

16

Yeah conservatively that’s like 800Wh or 210Ah at 3.7V or about 16Ah at 50V so if you charge at 16A it would be 1C charge rate and would take about an hour at 5A you’re looking at a bit over 3 hrs (16/5), lower you go longer you’ll need to wait to actually fill it up. Maybe not an issue if you charge overnight but I like to be conscious and not too far when juicing things up.

yeh defiantly not… 1c for lipos is well and truly enough unless they are multiple packs in para i would like to go to 8-10 amp but that type of charger will be pretty pricey and i probably would be better off using a balance charger since it will be far cheaper lol
