E Fuel 1200watt power supply
Is anyone using this brand of power supply? They look nice, and have many features. They are being sold at several hobby stores. I want plug/play, not a Meanwell, Iota, or similar, without an on/off switch, a/c cord attachment, banana plugs, etc. Thanks for any info...

Only problem is the a/c current draw. This power supply is not power factor corrected and would probably draw more than a regular household circuit at full power. Chargery (I think) makes a very similar unit that is pfc.

Wow! This thing is nice. I will be powering my PL6 with it. Should be able to charge 4 6s 5000 packs at once. Need to find a calclator to figure it out...

Hmm.. Is this right? Power supply 24volts x 55 amps=1320 watts.. Power Lab 6 is good to 1000watts. So, 6 cell 5000 pack at 2C=10amps x 25.2=252 watts x 4 packs=1008 watts.. So, I should be able to charge 4 packs at once at 2C. Is that right?

Not with 24 volts source supply, but you will come close enough that it won't matter. The PL6 needs >24 volts to achieve full 1kW output. It'll do ~860 or so watts with 24V power supply. Make sure that the resistance between PS output and charger have least possible resistance to maximize charger output power.

I was just looking at the video on YouTube of it and it works great...
Still, any feedback here from someone who is using E-Fuel 1200? There must be someone who is using it now..... |

mine works fine for Hyperion 720duo but it does spark when plugging into the wall even with the switch in the off position.

...also, are you using your regular 15Amp AC 110 Volt wall outlet?
