Question about charging batteries in the field…

[I_Am_Doug]

What do you guys use to charge your batteries when you’re out in the field? I currently have a imars d300 charger with gensacearespammers bashing batts. 2 3s and 2 4s. I would love to use a solar generator or battery bank. I’m just not sure what would work the best.

If you guys could share what you do, even if not solar, I would be super appreciative. I’d like to know some success before I drop some $$$.

Thanks in advance!!

Something like this >>

Ecoflow River 2 + Delta mini

Good not just for providing juice for your portable RC Lipo charging ,but also many other uses- camping, emergencies, or just off-grid.

I just use my iMAX B6AC with alligator clips for the car's 12V battery. Replaces the AC plug on the left in this pic:

Or as an alternative..

I just carry one of these (since I have several units at home) with me if I need to be mobile, out into the sticks >>

Hey Tex, thanks for responding. How much life do you get out of that APC?

I just connect mine directly to the battery in my car. The Imars D300 has a DC port on it. All you need is this https://www.amainhobbies.com/hitec-xt60-dc-input-cables-clips-hrc44243/p476590

Not sure on the Max time..

Half a day's worth easy.
That's enough time to Bash for most people, I think...

This is definitely an option for me however, my RC cars are in much better condition electrically than my ‘09 JK Jeep Thanks for the reply!!
