I have just bought a Hyperion 720i Super Duo 3 charger and Sky RC eFuel 24V 60A power supply. For just over $550 I have a great setup. I am really happy with the performance it delivers. Depending on charge rate you can do 3 packs in parallel per channel.

I wasn't too keen on getting a modded server power supply. The eFuel comes with CE certification so I was happy with that.

Chargers and power supply?

I ended up going with a Meanwell 24 1000 power supply and a Pl8 (35/40amps)charger. I wanted maximum juice for future builds. In addition I got a parallel board and other various balance boards from Progressive RC... out the door shipped and delivered with in 2 days $520. Progressive RC has great customer service and ultra knowledgable. Thanks RichL for recommending :)

I'm happy to hear you are enjoying your charging equipment.  I knew you would be pleased with Progressive RC.

I can keep batteries charged and two helicopters flying all day without pause if I desire.

LOL, Rich! That's because Rich flies at like 600rpm for 27 minutes per pack!!!

Sorry, Rich, couldn't resist busting your chops! Great write-up and explanation (although I'm still not giving up my parallel charging).  :D

[/cell phone rings]"Oh, hi, honey. Sure, yes, I'll be leaving in just a few more minutes after my next flight...oh, wait...Rich is flying now...better make that about half an hour..."  ;D

Again, sorry, Rich. I just can't help myself.  :)
