[chbot] Benchtop power supply and battery charger recommendations

[Jasper Mackenzie]

Thanks all for the suggestions!

In terms of the PSU and charger I am charging a wide variety of things -
trying to recover my dead LiFeP04's, various Pb and other things... thanks
Henri, the ISDT stuff looks amazing! Do you have a recommendation for a
particular model - there are heaps! I am typically not doing RC banks, more
wanting fine control over abused PB and lithiums 8) I am looking on
Hobbyking - Is there anything that could charge up to 24s (48V) of Pb that
ppl have used - could use a two channel ISDT if they have isolated
outputs...

Synco, the Reiden is a great option.

Both the charger and PSU require a high power DC source which if purchased
really changes the affordability! I have some ESP 120's that would work
with the Reiden, but too high a voltage for the ISDT chargers - but they
are massive! Does anyone have surplus server (or other) PSU's  outputting
~30V and ~70V - I can mod the ESP120's to do this too. All roads point to
the ESP120 - maybe I should make an adjustable PSU out of those 8)

Cheers all!

Jasper
