Need to visit the webpage for images and specifications. My questions:

What are the capabilities of this charger?
What are the limitation of this charger?
Is there a fundamental weakness in the concept?

Thank you

That's what I was thinking. A Meanwell RSP 750-28 could supply the power. For me this means I can afford to purchase a sizeable LiPO battery one cell at a time. Use individual meters for each cell. My power supply could address imbalanced cells.


Fascinating -- Thank you

The product, when using the balance connector, will show you individual voltage and amp hours for each cell in the pack.

The T6 Lite can charge up to six lithium ion cells in series at a maximum current of 25 amps.

Limitations appears to be it's more of a regulator than a power supply. To charge six cells at 25 amps you'll need a 30v 30amp supply on the input.

Looks like a pretty good unit. Also supporting nicd, nimh and lead chemistries.

Exactly what type of Lipo batteries are you trying to charge? Knowing the capacity of the batteries helps choose a charge system. If its hobby grade stuff then there are some much better options out there. If it is an rv style lipo battery then that's beyond my knowledge.
