For months I have been using a Hyperion charger running off mains. Even when I select a 6A charge rate for my 5000mah 6S DN Power batteries it only ever charges at 2A and decreases as it gets closer to the end. I suspect if I powered it from a power supply rather than mains it would do better; maybe I'll tets that now I have a PSU. Anyway, the battery takes over an hour to charge. I currently have two of them but have another two coming. I also have five 2200mah 3S, two 1050mah 3S and one 2500mah 3S. Needless to say, I spend all Friday night charging batteries even when I start early afternoon!
I just got a power supply that can do 13.8V 40A output to feed a new Hyperion charger capable of 20A. When I charge at the same rate it actually puts out the full 6A I asked for and the same battery charges in approx 26 minutes (again, charge rate tails off at the end).
Here's the question; the DN Power batteries are capable of a 5C charge apparantly. I'd like to charge the 5000mah 6S at 10A, which I understand is "2C" (yes?). Can anyone foresee any issues?
Cheers
