Time for a new Charger. Best place to purchase Hyperion chargers?

[bi_eep]

Bought some Flightmax 5000mAh 3S1P 30C lipos and decided I want to upgrade my charger. I want to buy a top of the line charger now and be good for years to come.

I'm really leaning with the Hyperion EOS0610iDUO2 DC Balance Charger. I've read reviews after reviews. Also the dual battery charging is awesome for my e-revo. Maxamps seems to overcharge on alot for there products. I wanted to see if yall knew any cheaper places to purchase Hyperion chargers.

Max amps person dont you need to make a purchase and the discount only applies to you next purchase? So its 40 dollars more the holmes hobby. Once you buying from holmes hobby you should get one of his sick motors

[JAM MaxAmps.com]

Read how it works here: http://www.maxamps.com/membership.php

as it explains you get 5% off your first purchase. If that first purchase goes over $100.00 then you get bumped up to the next level of 10% off your next order, and so on. If you feel it's not a good deal then so be it.

300 dollars 5% of is 15 dollars. So yes your right you do get 5% of your first purchase

"Once you spend" $100.00 with MaxAmps.com then you hit the "Bronze" level. At this level you will get 10% off everything on the website.

My english isnt that best but this say "Once you spend 100$" then you get 10% so doesnt that mean you have to spend 100$ and then the next purchase you make you get the ten percent off? If not its a pretty good deal 270$ but thats after your first purchase of 100% or more?

[JAM MaxAmps.com]

I explained all of that in my last post.

[JAM MaxAmps.com]

Take care,

Jason

At a great price too. I'll be ordering one shortly. I just ordered these batteries, http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=8587 (ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 3S1P 30C), which adaptor do I need? Or do you carry any adaptors that have mulpiple connections?

thanks.

It's not that hard to understand guys.....On your first purchase you get this discount. So for this purchase ($300), you would save 10% ($30) = $270 before shipping. You would be at the bronze level. The levels are based on your last 12 months purchases, so as long as you continue to purchase the minimum for your level with the past 12 months, you will stay at that level.

*****I don't know if shipping is included in the discount

[megacabcummins]

Actually it would be $285 if the price was $300, you get 5% off of any purchase. Once you have bought over $100 then your discount goes to 10%.

You will need the "Hextronic" adapter for the Zippy batteries:

thanks

[JohnRobHolmes]

Select the XH from the dropdown, and it works with Hextronic.

[bi_eep]

Awesome. Could you recommend me a good bang for the buck power supply for this specific charger? I want atleast a 20amp.

Also, If i remember correctly John, don't you personally use a duo to charger your batteries? I want what the pros use!

[JohnRobHolmes]

Yep, I use a duo- the first version without discharge function.

Power supply. I will use a car battery, it is cheap.

otherwise...

I typically buy my PS from china direct when I need them. I just can't compete nor can I even get them at a decent price otherwise.

[bi_eep]

Great price for the power, but looks complicated haha. Any ps source that I could just simply use the chargers plug/clip to the ps.

thanks for all the help John. Nice to know that I'm buying products from a owner that knows his products.

[JohnRobHolmes]

I pretty much just sell what I use on the electronics side. Items I don't carry, I generally don't use.


The PS is easy to hook up. You have three wires to bolt in from your AC power. Two wires come off for your DC, and you can install bullet plugs that go right into the DUO (it has 4mm banana plugs hidden in the clips). SUPER easy and convenient for going places.

Yep, that's the one! I just posted the MaxAmps link because that is the one I bought and knew where it was located on their website. I understand on trying to save some $$ on shipping....I do the same!
