Ok, so a 300w power supply will be sufficient. For what rc do you need 6s lipo's?

Yes correct, you mentioned you can't find 6s batteries of a decent size, but for instance the Kraton has more room for bigger (taller) lipo's than a Typhon, hence my question.
And a 6s Arrma needs 6s lipo's

Ah ok, in my head that's capacity, but i'm not a native speaker, anyway we are aligned now

Anyone know much about this charger, looks pretty decent - based on the Hobbymate / older Hota? 300w on AC / 600W on DC

it's Ultra Power UP6+
Hi, I read good feedback on this charger...
so i deccided to buy it and raplace a old one from modster 100w who can charge only 1 battery at once so this is so annoying when i want to drive my kraton 6s, becouse i only have 3s packs. Here is not included charging lead. What else do i need? Tnx

Well, I'm assuming your running something like 2x5000mah 3S lipo's? If so, I'd get a parallel charge board that works with your packs, then you can charge 4 at a time as this charger on AC would handle that just fine as well. I do that with my 2x20A/2x200w charger and it works well. I just make sure to label the packs and always run/charge in the same pairs.
On AC, that charger is listed to put out 2x15A/2x150W. To charge 2 3S 5000mah packs at 1C in parallel, you need 10A/111W.
What kind of plug do you use on your packs?
You are right which lipo I use. thanks for the advice ? i have ec5 connectors
A 2 pack of these and you'd be good to go:

This one is little bit pricey ?is this from aliexpress also good? Much cheaper and look equally

Was just looking on amazon so you had a point of reference really. Not sure how many amps I'd put through a $10 board though... Plugging dual 3S packs into this thing, that's a lot of power/current passing through it.
Ok i get a point...better save buy good quality than sorry- cheap stuff. Tnx ?
Really, both are fairly "cheap", $20 a piece or so for the ones I linked vs $10.
I got this one with XT90's to try, it was $20:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0748MHB6R
Haven't used it yet though. I went really cheap on my other "parallel" charging cables, I bought a couple XT90->dual xt90 connectors and jammed two 3S extensions in my hitec board using the 3S and 4S slots... lol!
DO NOT BE ME!!!!
If I was smart, I'd at least get a couple more boards vs what I'm doing now... but they have worked fine for the past year.

aha here are 2 boards in the package, i didnt notice this ?
this is a normal price yes .. then this is for 12lipo batteries all together?
Yeah, if you have the amps/watts to benefit from it. My biggest charger is 20A/200W, so I could almost charge 4 3S 5000mah packs on each channel at 1C. Would be about 25W short. Would need 30A/350W to do 6 3S/5000mah packs at 1C.aha here are 2 boards in the package, i didnt notice this ?
I have the 2 channel version of this charger and really like it -
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turbo-c...ous-balance-charger-discharger-version-2.html
300w per channel, so you can charge a big 6s pack at 10a no problem You will need a good power supply. I'd recommend a 24v unit from lipoconnecitonsolutions.com.
http://lipoconnectionsolutions.com/Dell-24v-62A-1500w-Power-Supply-4mm-Bullet-Output-CC24V1500W.htm -$65 for 1500w.
Also, the same charger is sold as the Charsoon Antimatter -

Several sellers have this charger, maybe you can find one in stock.
