    Well I thought as our hobby is more in demand for bigger chargers. More and more people are building there own charging stations. So I thought I would be the first to post one up. Here is mine I built a little time ago. Main aim I had in mind was to minimise wires to keep it tidy.

      Looks sweet but the price of my PSU's was just right. Who doesn't like free stuff.

      @Manyc , I really like the practicality of your charging case, It's a stoke of genius to mount the chargers in the lid, that way the plate over the pus remains clear for batteries and balance boards. I really like it, I'm off to measure my lid now. The true value of forums is to share great ideas.

      Measured the lid It's perfect (well it will work). I might just be able to pull off the case of the century!!! (well at least a functional charging station)

      Very Nice indeed @jockstrap! How many cycles can you charge the 6S Pulse pack before you have to change the 9volt battery? I would expect at least 50 or so. But when your battery is flat you can use my backup high powered battery charger...

      Damn- your's is "greener" than mine - and FREE!!!

      If I use a "Alkaline Heavy Duty 9V" I can charge all day at the field..

      I will have to get one of your chargers @jockstrap as my normal charger chews too much electricity. I use my backup bike whenever the power company cuts my electricity due to non-payment. With your charger I could visit all my relatives kids and pinch the 9v battery from their toys and fly for weeks on end! Where did you buy it from?

      The charger and battery combo have false labels to fool people - the combination is an initiative between the UN countries and top secret so so I can't tell anyone.. I'm very lucky I've been chosen to test the technology out..

      @jockstrap could this be the cheap energy source the UN capitalists have been hiding from us? To think plugging one of these babies into the mains - a 9 volt battery -- the secret X energy multiplier - a super inverter - and no more electricity bills!. Haleluya

      Not epic in charging time wise, but i can use all 4 channels at the same time... Now that I have a larger heli an am needing to charge 6S 5K packs I may need to upgrade to something with more punch..
