just got mine. im in the uk so 240v. checked the rear switch it was set to 220v. plugged my acuccell 6 in and it blow up. yes it was connected the right way round. tried another charger which is rated 12-18v got error message saying voltage error. checked out put and it running at 20v. anyone else had any problems like this?
 Mark 3 points
Mine has just blown up as well. I have been using it for a few months. I was only charging at 4amps. Trying to get a replacement sent to me now.

This power supply cannot provide enough power for your charger (if you intend to use the charger all out to 20A on both channels). You need at least a 1000W supply to have some margin (you cannot calculate on 100% efficiency either, so an 800W supply would still be too small). I would use this one:9052000002, seems to be good according to the reviews (haven't got one myself). Don't count on upgrades or refunds, it's such a hassle (and expensive) to pack up and send back stuff. HTH

Warning for this powersupply !! It has worked fine for some month but suddenly it smokes. I open it and i have NEVER seen a more ugly solder work it was a mess ! I would NEVER use this in my house .... This is not a Ce markt product that you can or will use in Europe.
 Dr. Sascha 6 points
i opened mine as well, but it looks just fine. soldering is absolutely ok.

Can I use iCharger 306B with this PS? I know it's a 1000W charger but, I don't need that much power anyway. Will this be sufficient?
 Niclas 17 points
Yes, if you dont need to use more than 600w it will work.

It´*s stupid to buy this powerful psu for that small charger, if you dont plan to buy a more powerful charger in the future. But it will work. :)
 Frederick 7 points
Hi niclas thanks for the reply but before you call somebody stupid dont you think its a good idea to find out what there plans are first?
 Niclas 17 points
Yesyes, of course,i didnt mean you where stupid, more like it's stupid. Like its a waste of money if you dont need that powerful psu. I didnt mean to sound mad :-D But its also great to buy a powerful psu so you dont need to buy a new if you want a more powerful charger than the accucel 6 in the future *-)
 Niclas 17 points
Im sorry and i hope you understand how i mean *-)

Is this OK for Turnigy Mega 400WX2. Can't find manual for this charger but note with unit states it needs 1000W or higher and that low quality DC power source may damage it! Thanks
 Kiwi_fulla 253 points
no good for this application .... only supplies 600watts ... you need 1000 - sorry to bear the bad news
mydiva  75 points - 11/27/2012
 
can everyone give me the specification of the fan? My fan is dead*o(
Thanks a lot
 Kiwi_fulla 253 points
take the fan out and you will see the label on it ... displaying the voltage and Milliamp draw. I would think it is 12V, it was on my smaller charger.
 Tomco 38 points
Unfortunately opening the case and looking at the fan won't work. I opened mine up the the label on the fan was torn off... But it would definitely be a 12v fan. You may just have to pull it out and match the size of it to a new one.
 Kiwi_fulla 253 points
also if it has never worked from day one ... open the case and switch the plug around. be sure to work out which way the fan is flowing before reinstalling. preferable air should be getting sucked out of any power supply unit to allow good air flow
Herman  5 points - 9/6/2012
 
can I use this for battery chrger a 5000mah 8 cll 20.6v Herman
 Kiwi_fulla 253 points
Absolutely YES ... of course you will need a Lipo Charger to go with it and I would suggest a parallel board to match your battery terminal type if you are planning on doing more than one battery charging at once.... saves you lots and lots of boring time doing the same job over and over.

Hi, can I use this powersupp for the iCharger iCharger 1010B 300W 10s Balance/Charger ?? Thanks
 Raptor-Spy 31 points
Yes you can, the input Voltage on the I-Charger is: Input Voltage Range: 10.0~18.0VDC The 600w Unit puts out 17V so it Works.
Massimiliano  25 points - 6/28/2012
 
hi! the output voltage is fixed or can be changed via a potentiometer??? my charger is 15V...http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/image
s/em_cry.gif cheers Max
 Massimiliano 25 points
I've just opened the case and rotated ccw the potentiometer 1 near the blu led..the minimum voltage reached is 15.30..too much for my charger robbe (15v max) cheers
 Kiwi_fulla 253 points
make sure you actually test the voltage coming out under load. and with a good voltage tester. Just a display voltage may be out 1 volt or so. I found this with one of the HK voltage/Amp power testing led boards. was out 1 volt (to high and 1 amp to high also. Put a battery on the charger, hook up your Power Supply and monitor the voltage coming out of the Power supply unit. I am sure you will be fine.

I see this power supply unit runs from 100-230v from mains but can it handle 240v mains as i live in Australia and the standard main volts here are 240v!
 milo69 61 points
yep no probs
 Kiwi_fulla 253 points
yes it will.... perfect for you! you will have to supply your own power cable though ... they are normal computer PSU cables
 Tomco 38 points
The charger actually comes with a 230v cable. At least mine did so I had to dig out and old 110v computer cable...
mydiva  75 points - 3/15/2012
 
blows the fan in the case inside also at your's Power Supply? is it not better when the fan blow the air outwards?
 startazz 952 points
Do you think this might be because it's cooling the inside down,just a though.
 Kiwi_fulla 253 points
should extract heat out ..... should be able to remove the fan and flip it over ..... must be an assembly issue.
 HHPhotography 32 points
When the fan blows the air in to the PS it is easier to direct the flow to the hottest components. Better cooling then when the air is sucked out! So no, it is not an assembly issue! (* comment kiwi_fulla)
 Kiwi_fulla 253 points
hi there, well if you feel the back of your computer and feel the PSU there. you will notice the air is being sucked out. This is to remove hot air, not to blow it on the components. As you move heated air away ... natural law of effects allows cooler air to fill that space :)
Trey  1 points - 2/5/2012
 
can you hookup 3 of the quatro 4 chargers to the 600w power supply at one time. So that you only need one power supply to run three chargers
 S.weden 23 points
If youre Quatro charger can handle 17V input? = Yes The HobbyKing Quatro charger only handles MAX 15V input, so i would not use this Powersupply for HK quatro.
Mike-mex  6 points - 11/1/2011
 
I test the ouput voltage and it is 40V. This are correct? I think this device burn my new Turnigy power system 4 x 6 charger (The switch is in 115 V and in it is acording our regular Voltage)
 Thobias 7 points
I bought this one, but I measured the voltage before use. I had no problems. You attempted to measure? If the value is above you should, you can seek assurance Hobbyking.
 Tomco 38 points
I measured mine too before plugging in any chargers and it's putting out 17.4v. There is something definitely wrong if it's putting out 40v. Sorry to hear about your charger... :(

 Drew Vanderham 15 points
Hmmm.... well i do not have this product but there is always a few tings to check :D Fuse, blown capsitor(oozing little silver cylinder), scorched resistors but it could also be a blown transformer and then you are in the mud unless you just open it up and make sure everything is connected correctly :D Good Luck!
 CARVER99 17 points
On the back of the power supply is a switch for 110 or 220 power, make sure it is flipped to 110 power. If it is on 220 power you will get the fan working but thats about it. Hope this helps

I have this PS and an iCharger 306B* however it worked ok the first time I plugged it in, the second time I plugged it in the charger turned off and on a few times and now it does not work at all :/ The charger still works on my truck battery just not on this PS. Should I open it up and take a look inside?
 fusionbrad 699 points
no,i think the power supply is faulty but i would email cs and ask them what to do, explain it is too heavy to ship back and see what they say. good luck
 Jeroenstream 38 points
When I wanted to charge the second lipo it explodes!! I use the Turnigy Accucel-8 150W! What a bad quality ,immediately afterwards tested my Accucel-8 on car battery. The Accucel-8 is luckily not broken. What a nightmare!!!
project80  20 points - 3/28/2011
 
I have coupled this power supply with the Turnigy 4x6S charger. But the charger doesn't accept the voltage, since it is too high. The output voltage of the power supply (at no load) is 21V! Is the power supply faulty or what should I do? The item description makes one think this has been tested and should work together with other HK chargers.
 UH-Switzerland 3125 points
My Power Supply has exactly 17.0 Volt at no load. I have checked this with the wattsup analyzer from www.link

hi, i have got turnigy 4*6s charger.
if i buy this item, can i charging 6s lipo with 5,0 A? thank you..
 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points
Yes the PSU is rated way beyond that.
 UH-Switzerland 3125 points
The operating voltage range of your charger is 11~15V DC. I think it will not work, because the Charger will check the incomming voltage first before start up. If it is to high or to low normaly the device will not work.

 jeffry 11 points
you can charge only 1 6s at 5.0 Ampere but don't charge more than one 6s at the same time, or your turnigy charger will damage, because according manual, max charge capacity is 6 ampere. in my experience more than 6 ampere charging, the turnigy charger is rather hot..

Hi does anyone know if the HobbyKing 600W / 17V Power Supply has a digital voltage display
Thanks


 tmerren 18 points
No digital voltmeter. It does have enough room inside to add one though.
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 __Ben 5 points
It does not have a voltage readout. There is plenty of room inside the case to add one if you know what you are doing though. I am thinking about making this mod myself. The only indicators on the unit as it comes is a neon lamp inside the power switch which glows when turned on. There is a "power good" LED mounted on the PCB inside the case but it isn't visible from the front of the unit. You can see it if you look through the ventilation slots on the left side.
 Larry 6 points
I purchased one recently and it does not have a display, however one could be added with a bit of work.
 UH-Switzerland 3125 points
This unit has no display. If you like some display please take an aditional Watt Meter like this www.link
 Geoff 8 points
No. What you see is what you get. On-Off Switch and two plugs '-' and ' ' and a plug at the back for the power cord. Use a voltimeter if you want to measure volts
Junkers Jumo  158 points - 3/13/2011
 
Both the Hobby King Quattro 4x6 and Turnigy 4x6S Chargers specify an operating voltage range of DC 11~15V. This power supply has an output voltage of 17V. Are they compatible?

 Racemaxx69 128 points
Mine came with the same plug (euro.), just use a computer power cord, thats what i did, works perfect. :-)
 __Ben 5 points
Same problem here. I haven't tried to do anything about it though.
 Geoff 8 points
The plug is a typical kettle cord. Get a replacement from electronics store for about $5 or take an old one from an appliance you don't use like an old computer/kettle and etc.

Been using mine for a while now, works great! I charge multiple batteries at a time. I turn it on before I connect the batteries. A friend told me to do this, I have earthly reason why, just do. I recommend it if you need some amps to charge with. Ed H

Very nice power supply. Charged using my Hyperion 720 DUO 3 with two TP 6S 5000mah at a time with 2C of charge each (more than 20A).
It handled very nice but it's the maximum rate you can charge, otherwise the power supply shut off (maximum of 420W of power, not 600W).
But for me its enought charge two batteries at a time at 2C.
I'm very happy with it and recommend. It worth the cheaper price compared with its benefits.
The fan is noisy and i'm planning to change it for another one more silent.
See my video,
Thanks.

I have 2 of these power supplies. Number 1, connected to 2 x 200watt chargers. After 5 mins went bang, lots of black smoke. Still works on lower current now - obviously blown out at least one MOSFET. Number 2, connected to 1 x 200watt charger, Worked for 3 lots of charging then when I came back it to it was dead. The light was on but no voltage out. Humph...
