Hi Ben,Mark,

I have been emailing that guy from Toronto, his name is Robert and his handle is Lipo Power.

Anyway he has 1200 watt power supplies for $85 shipped!

I think i'm going to go for one of these to try it out...

Not a bad price did he send you a photo of the power supply?

Hi Brian. Were those 1200 watt power supplies 12 or 24 volt?

As far as volts and amps and whatnot, compare it to a garden hose.  The pressure in the hose is comparable to the potential (volts).  The amount of water coming out of the hose would be the flow (current) and the total combination of the pressure in the hose and the volume of water coming out of the hose would be the overall power (watts).  So if you have a garden hose with 12 psi (12 volts) that is flowing 3 gallons per minute (3 amps), you will have a total of 36 (12x3) available units of energy (watts)

Hi Guys,

I received the power supply and my new charger today....plugged it all in and it seems to work.

I will put two 6 cell batteries on charge tonight at the same time and see what the result is.

I have to say that the guy i bought the charger from - Robert- on RCCanada has been excellent to deal with!!

He even took the time to ask what i was using it for and provided advice...wow, you don't see that much anymore...
