All good PJ - no worries at all!

I've given out power supplies over the past couple of days.

THANKS HEAPS STEVE .

WOW, they went quick

If any body missed out, not to worry, I have another 20-30 here that I can drop buy.

I hope you all enjoy your new found sense of power.

If any of them are dead, let me know, and I can get you another one.

Cheers
Dennis

Cheers Dennis - it does appear that demand is still enthusiastic. You're going to be a popular bloke at the field as time goes on

We can tee-up another delivery later if that suits you. In fact, we've got our AGM next Sunday at 11:00am and you'd be welcome to attend that as an observer if it fits in with your plans (there'll probably be a presence at the field on Saturday too, if that suited you better).

In any case - thanks again for going out of your way to make these deliveries for us. I'm sure your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Guys, in case anyone wants to look at making a 24v unit, someone has done a nice write up on RCGroups:

out of the 2 i got , i did the conversion , one works , one doesnt . not complaining though , its a beauty and puts out 12.8 volts , nice and quiet also . I may grab another .
thanks whitedg. these are great .

Since I now have a (actually 2) decent high output supply, I ordered and just received a new 4 port 400w Turnigy Charger from the AUS warehouse. Thought about getting one of these for a while but there was always the issue of supplying enough power to it. I'm about to do the mod on one of the supplies and try it out on the new Charger. Up till now it's always taken hours to charge the dozen or so batteries I take down to the field. The 4 port Charger should speed that up considerably. Thanks again Dennis.
P.S. impressed with the delivery time from the Aus warehouse. Only placed the order on Monday and received the Charger and 3 Lipos in 2 Days!

Good to see that they are being put to good use.

I probably won't be able to get to the field this weekend (gotta work Sat, and Sun being fathers day.....) but I'll try to get there the weekend after and drop some more off (still have around 20 at home). Just found out that there are another 17 servers ready for decomm at work, so that is another 34 supplies......

Cheers
Dennis

Thanks again Dennis - and have a great weekend!

Hi Steve forgot about those 2 power supplies you have for me.
Meant to mention them last night when I saw you.
Looks like it will have to be next weekend now what with Father's Day
this week.

Yep - they're are a couple left a side for you Paul.

Got my 2 power supplies over the weekend.
Did the mod and they are working great thanks again Dennis much appreciated.

Glad they are all working out.

How many more are still needed? I think I have about 20 left at home ( my 60Kw charger is now only 20Kw), so I need to work out if I can get some more and how many from the next decomm lot.

I need to find time to get to the field again...

Cheers
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

If possible I would appreciate a couple next time round.

Regards,

Ingo

I think it is safe to say that there is still demand for several. I know I got the one that I asked for, but I was hoping for another one once the mad rush had eased off a bit.

Hi Dennis! Could I put my hand up for one too and see how it goes?

Thanks
Victor

I will grab another couple for the lads at work if they are available

Many thanks Dennis !!

I'll also grab 1 or 2 more please - my brother who is also into RC appreciated one I gave him.
Thanks lots.

Plan on coming out on Saturday (hopefully the weather will be nice to us) and I'll bring 20 or so supplies.
Any left at the end of the day will be left for others to collect later on.

Cheers
Dennis

A VERY BIG WARM THANK YOU TO YOU DENNIS .
My 2 power supplies are now working , after the conversion . i just purchased 2 accucell 8S 150w chargers , and am currently using both of them on the one power supply charging 2 x 6S 3000mah Lipo batteries at 3 amps each . And it is working perfectly , not getting hot and it quiet .
the other accucel 6s 50w CHARGERS have a 350 watt power supply running them currently charging 2x 3S 4000MAH hour chargers at 4 amps . these chargers will do the 3s at 4 amps , but not the 6s at 3 amps , this is the reason i purchased the bigger chargers and your power supplies for the 6 s batteries .
which means i now can charge 2 big batteries and 2 smaller ones , and thats without using the SPARE powert supply as you gave me 2 60kw power supplies .

Hi Dennis, I forgot to thank you for my two chargers, sorry & thank you.

Thanks for helping the members out, all in the spirit of scrounging, it's one
of the things that has made this hobby great!


John C.

My pleasure guys. Still got a few left, so if anyone has missed out, please let me know.

Was reading on rcgroups today about the new iCharger 4010 and it's need for some serious input power (up to 50v). I then had a look in the storeroom and saw 2 big Cisco (6500) switches with 2x2525w (42.6v @ 55.5 A) PSU's in each one. Hmmmmm, wondering when we will be decommissioning those.

Cheers
Dennis

G'day Dennis,
You wouldn't have a couple more of these floating about by any chance?

Cheers

No sorry Jason, I've changed jobs and no longer have access to them. I only ended up with the 1 that I use.

Cheers
Dennis

Thanks Denis, I'll have a look on ebay might find a couple there

Cheers

Jason, Pretty sure I've got a couple of the 1st type of charger - It was less amperage, around 60 or 70 and had the single fan. Couldn't find the thread about it, I can dig them out of the garage if you want one or both.

Thanks john
That would be greatly appreciated if you can spare them
I want to connect two to make a 24v supply and I found an article on the net about how to go about it
For both types of supply
