In reality, I've still got a couple deep discharge batteries that could be implemented and a couple smaller power supplies--but I did learn early on you can't really have enough chargers. <BR>
<BR>
There is a duty cycle factor in this also. Although I have driven the system fairly hard for several days in a row at times and have had no failures--I know there have been some and as time goes on--this IS hobby stuff--there WILL be some--and I really do not like to spend my entire evening running out to the garage every few minutes to check on stuff..<BR> <BR>

<DIV>OK, now that you brought it up--FWIW--one charger isn't enough as you need a back-up. Two really isn't enough because as you said you don't want to spend all night charging the night before and you really need a back-up for those two. So practically, you really need three and you can knock out 6 sets in a couple hours. I have a hard time burning through 5 sets after work--depending how many are at the field. I have a pair of 6Ses that are back-ups for the 10Ses--otherwise I would have a fourth <SPAN>10S. If you have the energy left after flying, you could partially charge--say up to 65% or so and you could knock 'em all out in an hour the next flying eve. I run them with an Iota 75 at 4.2 amps.</SPAN><BR>RS <BR>
