Recommend charger for Turnigy Graphene-6000mah-3s-65c

garolittle · Aug 17, 2018

So I just ordered this. ......

I normally work with 18650 cells so I am embarrassed to admit that i did not even consider my charger options before the purchase. :oops:

That said, can anyone recommend a good charger for this Turnigy Graphene-6000mah-3s-65c battery? It will be used to power my Kweld spot welder. Budget is about $30-$50. Thanks.

If you look for a combined 18650 and 3S Lipo charger take a look at XTAR DRAGON. It's not the best choice for Lipo but it can charge and discharge Ni-MH/Ni-Cd and Li-ion and has dedicated probes for measuring IR.

Thanks. I will check it out. I appreciate the response.

I would recommend one of the ISDT Chargers like the Q6 Lite (200w), Q6 (300w) or T6 Lite (600w) and get an Amass parallel board if you want to charge multiple packs with the T6, they are the best chargers for the money right now and have quite a high balance charging current (1.5a for the T6) which beats most chargers double the price.

Thanks. I will check that out as well. That sounds like an awesome option.

Remember most RC Chargers need a power supply

Thanks for all of the replies.

the q6 is a very good charger, its the same one I got. I been using it for the past 2 years to charge everything from li-ion, lifepo4, even my lead acid, it charges everything, very reliable.

Well then the issue is settled. I will buy the Q6. Thanks for the suggestion. What power source do you use for it? Thanks again!

For a power source, I believe I will go with a 10P/4S 18650 pack made from brand new cells. I appreciate the responses from everyone. ES is an awesome forum.

The Q6 ( iSDT ) charger takes a input voltage of 7-32 volts
So
Make a 6s or 7s pack, for your power supply.

Why would you spend so much money making a power supply from 18650 cells ?
When
You can just buy a Mean Well , or a Used/Refurbished HP Server Power Supply .

or this HP Server Power Supply ,
You would have to solder the + and - wires and solder the left 4 sections of the circuit board on the back of it, but it is a real cheep price.
