I just don't want to order my battery and charger and then not be able to charge my battery because Hobby King didn't include a power supply(because it says they don't, even though there's one in the picture). It's also a little more than I'd like to spend on a charger, are the ASGI options I mentioned worth a try? Edit: I could get another LiPo for the money I could save with a cheaper charger.

Edit: I could get another LiPo for the money I could save with a cheaper charger.[/QUOTE] The B6AC has a built-in power supply, hence the 'AC' part of 'B6AC'. You're good to go. Trust me, I own one purchased from Hobbyking. Also, you don't want to skimp on a charger. Get a solid charger, and you're set.

I just got an IMAX B6. Should I get a power supply? I'm looking at this one: [url]http://www.amazon.com/110-240V-Switch-Supply-Balance-Charger/dp/B0026SUMNY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1371758240&sr=8-3&keywords=lipo+charger+power+supply[/url]

If you got the B6 and not the B6AC, then yes, you might want to get a power supply, that is if you want to use your B6. As for which one, someone else will have to answer.

Out of curiosity, How quickly could the B6-AC charge an 1800mAh, 3S, 11.1v LiPo?

Ok guys, I need to borrow your real steel wisdom. Don't ask why, but I have a chance to pick up a few guns for free. Mostly hunting rifles and shotguns. I've fired some of them before, but not all. I took brief notes when looking through the safe; -Weatherby mk4 .340 mag_____[I]big bad hunting rifle. Hurts my shoulder after like 4 shots[/I] -Beretta 12 gauge semi_____[I]wooden rifle stock, nearly identical to win shotty[/I] -Winchester 12 gauge semi_____[I]wooden rifle stock, nearly identical to beretta shotty[/I] -Browning 12 gauge break barrel_____[I]my grandpas pride and joy. Won some serious dosh trap shooting with this thing. Wooden rifle stock, single break barrel[/I] -winchester mod 70 (.270)_____[I]personal favorite among the ones I've fired. Funny rectangular scope[/I] -winchester mod 70 (.257)_____[I]nearly identical to above. Suuuuuper smooth bolt[/I] -remington mod 550-1 (.22)_____[I]semi auto .22, 15 round underbarrel tube mag. Wooden rifle stock[/I] -remington model 700 (7mm mag)_____[I]wooden rifle stock, cowadootyfore[/I] -Sig 2022_____[I]currently MIA, but possibly available later. 9mm auto. Only "modern" gun[/I] -colt revolver_____[I]no markings, unknown caliber. Supposedly shared rounds with a colt rifle[/I] -7.65mm semi_____[I]old looking semi, kinda like a ppk or something[/I] -.22 revolver, German made_____[I]didn't care for this[/I] -.22 revolver H&R arms_____[I]w/e[/I]

I don't really understand what you're asking? Also I can probably identify the 7.65mm handgun and the colt revolver if you have pictures

take the sig 2022

[QUOTE=Joetehpsycho;41184122]Out of curiosity, How quickly could the B6-AC charge an 1800mAh, 3S, 11.1v LiPo?[/QUOTE] as fast as the lipo can take it it's adjustable amp rate

[QUOTE=felix the cat;41185151]I don't really understand what you're asking? Also I can probably identify the 7.65mm handgun and the colt revolver if you have pictures[/QUOTE] Just asking which ones you guys think I should take, since I can't take all of them

Oh well in that case take the Winnie and Browning shotguns, the Colt, the 7.65mm pistol, and the Weatherby

[QUOTE=apoctank;41186144]Just asking which ones you guys think I should take, since I can't take all of them[/QUOTE] what felix said and the sig sig pistols are really nice [editline]25th June 2013[/editline] modern sig pistols that is, I know nothing of the older ones

[QUOTE=the_killer24;41185626]as fast as the lipo can take it it's adjustable amp rate[/QUOTE] And how do I figure this out? It's probably listed on the batteries description, but what should I be looking for?

Most lipos will have the max C rating printed on them. If not, it's always safe to charge them at 1C (ex. if your battery is 1800mAh, to charge at 1C you would charge at 1.8A)

Gotcha, max charge rate is 5C, do we have a conversion table floating around anywhere?

IF anyone is traveling to Latvia, like YCheez, and interested in playing in our "fields", then don't fret.All interested people contact me and i will hook you up with a gun, bb's and all that good stuff.Be sure to bring your camies though.I got some vests and shit, but don't expect much.

[QUOTE=Joetehpsycho;41186716]Gotcha, max charge rate is 5C, do we have a conversion table floating around anywhere?[/QUOTE] what's the mAh rating on your battery?

most chargers cap out at 5.0A charging current imo even though a batteries rated for 5C i would never charge it that fast

Do you guys not like remington?

[QUOTE=felix the cat;41186786]what's the mAh rating on your battery?[/QUOTE] 1800.

1.8*5

[QUOTE=the_killer24;41187115]1.8*5[/QUOTE] Uhh?

aka 9 amps charge rate which is 4 more amps than most chargers do

[QUOTE=Joetehpsycho;41187195]Uhh?[/QUOTE] 1C would mean charging your battery at 1.8A because 1 x 1.8A = 1.8A. You said your battery's charge rate was 5C, ergo 5 x 1.8A = 9A.

Gotcha, so is it safe to charge my battery at such speed, and how long would it take?

Personally, I would just charge at 1or2C, that's plenty. Usually takes about 20ish minutes for my batteries to charge [editline]25th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=apoctank;41186988]Do you guys not like remington?[/QUOTE] Nop. Can't stand them. Plus Rem700s and Winnie Mod70s are a dime a dozen. Nothing interesting about them, hang onto the nicer, rarer guns.

make sure to balance charge

Well damn, that's plenty fast. And, the Remington 700 comes in some nice variations, friend of mine has the Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 with a bipod and a nice scope, one of most satisfying rifles I've ever shot. But other than that and 870 variants Remington doesn't bring much to the table.
