Dang you got all that for $132? You stole that stuff lol.
 
Yeah i was pretty excited. Just need to figure out what parallel board I need. Only would ever do 4 batts max . Wanna thank you guys for the help.
 
Hard to turn down that deal, & only used a couple of times. Good choice, as i chargers are very good quality & 30A & 1000w is plenty of power. The AC power supply also looks like a good match for the charger. What battery connectors are you using? The extra parallel board I have can be used for charging 2-4 Lipos at once (EC5 or XT90 connectors), but not sure what you are looking for?
 
I have to get a parallel board that charges xt90 that's what my 6s batts are and st 60. Not sure what it would cost ship to USA Michigan for you I am interested depending on what you want shipped for board and adapters?
 
Yeah they should work with any charger, the cables are pretty universal, there are some chargers that use a different balance cable but I don't think it was the icharger.
 
Please help this is the VENOM 80w X2 PRO DUO (Dual Power) charger and 3S lipos that came with my arrma typhon V2 combo I bought last year.

But my question is will this charger be strong enough and safe enough to charge these 6S lipos from SMC

No. In order to charge one of those batteries at 1C you would need a charger with an absolute minimum of 186 watts. If you wanted to charge 2 of them at once I would recommend 400 watt 2 channel charger. Something like this will charge 2 of those batteries at 1c https://www.motionrc.com/products/s...2u6KaOEeeYeYHyKRzFEPz7SXSbrquF7AaAmqnEALw_wcB

And just FYI that charger that you have now is underpowered for the batteries you currently have. Running a charger at max will lead to premature failure of the charger.

Sorry but u have opened a can of worms
I am planning on get a 1/5 RC and running it on 8s
My question is, is there a easy way to research for a charger that could charge 3S up to 8S or do I have to buy separate chargers.
Thanks in advance for any and all info

I agree, an 80w charger just don't cut it. I'm using this Turnigy charger:

Your earlier post. Most chargers only charge up to 6S (6 cell Lipo). I gather most people running 8S 1/5 scale use (2) two 4S Lipos, not a 8S Lipo.
