<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks all for the suggestions!</div><div><br></div><div>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...<br></div><div><br></div><div>Synco, the Reiden is a great option.</div><div><br></div><div>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)</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers all!</div><div><br></div><div>Jasper<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 20 Oct 2021 at 12:03, Henri Shustak <<a href="mailto:henri.shustak@gmail.com" target="_blank">henri.shustak@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Sorry, Just saw the rest of your post. Take a look at ISDT. If you have a battery pack that has a BMS, then let me know. I have some 48V power supplies for charging scooters, they are only about 2A output but they will charge the packs if they have a BMS.<br>
