Hello people:
I recently bought the Turnigy Accucel-6 50W 5A Balancer/Charger, I would like to know if the plug of the IMAX Power Supply 100~240v 5A will fit the charger?
Let me people please!
thank you..

I'm new to R/C and I picked this up to power the Turnigy Accucell-8150. How do you plug it into the Turnigy? With NO instructions with the Turnigy and NO power supply directions in the manual from this site how do I hook this up? The plug on this will not match any of the plugs that came with the Turnigy. Please help!

I am a beginner.
When the spec says "The Turnigy Accucel 6 is an entry level balancing charger and discharger which can handle up to 6 cells and 5A.", this means up to 6 diffrent "batteries" or one battery with 06 cells ("modules") ?
I have one "battery" NiMh 2700, 8.4V with 07 "modules" 2700,1.2 V* it can be charged/balanced/cycled/discharged with TURNIGY 6 ? and I can use this Imax power supply ?Thanks in advance

6 cells is 6 cells, not six batteries. Here it is meant 6 LiPo cells. It can charge/discharge/balance up to 15 NiCd/NiMh cells. This powersupply is ok, but it is designed for the Imax chargers, and has a plug for that charger, not the Turnigy. There is another 5A powersupply (searc for "12V 5A Power Supply") for ~1/2 of the cost avail here, that will do the same job:)

Thanks a lot
Just to put it very clear to me :
you mean a Lipo battery composed of 6 cells * a NiCd/NiMh battery composed up to 15 cells.
Is that correct ?
In this case, the Turnigy 6 is good for that or I'll need a Turnigy 8 ?

**-Calculation of the Charge current**-

The spec says: Output 15V * 5A, so output power is 75W

The charger has an efficiency of approx 80%, so you can charge max 0.8*75W = 60W into your batteries.

Calculation of the max charge current:

2s battery- 60W / 8.4V = 7.1A
3s battery- 60W / 12.6V = 4.75A
4s battery- 60W / 16.8V = 3.55A
5s battery- 60W / 21.0V = 2.85A
6s battery- 60W / 25.2V = 2.35A

I hope this solves many questions.
Regards, Joe

does it give the 5Amps it says?
i want to charge 6S 5000mah lipos with it!
on turnigy charger Accucell 6

Yes, it does give 5A max, but at 12V. But if you are charging at a higher voltage, the supplied current must be higher at 12V... (the charger can supply the higher voltage, at a higher current draw at the input) So to charge a 6S (~25V) battery at 5A with a 12V supply, twice the current is needed, 10A minimum (in addition to heatloss etc in charger...)

For charging more than 3S, I'd recommend a supply with a higher voltage (min 18V) and higher current.

It will work for sure with any charger up to 8 cells.

Does it supply enought power to GT A-6?

webber (1531 points);
I have GT A-6 and the power is enough. It was working for almost a year and always barely warm (as any power supply should be).

It will work - you will have no problems. This one is a cheap and reliable power supply.

webber (1531 points);
Yes, the input is AC100-240v (just checked mine)

will this work with the iCharger iC6? because it don't come with a power cord/adapter plug, sad to say.

stacey (15 points)
does item comes with ac cord (110v)?

Jason5001 (994 points);
Yeah it does.
it comes with a USA plug, but you can easily get a cord to suit it or an adapter plug $5.00 at your hardware or electronic store.
It's a non-issue

IMAX Power Supply 100~240v 5A

Mitja Sersen

Recieved this power supply today.

NOTE: the AC 100-240V power supply cable doesnt fit to European standard (I live in Slovenia).
Look at my blog entry to see the plug of this power cord. I will report the use of this power supply device in my blog. Check it later.

The solution is to use "International Plug Adapter", or there is a possibility to use power supply cable from some other electric device as electric shaver , radio, or other apropriate power supply cable...with wire diameter that match power requirements.

Won't work with a Swallow char

Andy Hollitt

Good power supply, works fine with my iMax B5 chargers but note that the 15V output is too high for either a Swallow or Hyperion EOS 5i charger.

Valuable Addtion to GT A-6 cha

Dean Emery

Works perfectly with my GT A-6 charger allowing the charger to easily work on AC in the comfort of my home. The plug was the US standard but a pair of pliers quickly tweeked it to fit a standard Australian wall plug. It is all rated at 240V and runs cool. No problem.

I have had this for a few days now, and I have found this to be a great DC power supply! It is sturdy and compact, and works perfectly with my new Turnigy Accucel 6 charger! It was supplied with a U.S. style power cord. This power supply barely gets warm during use, and voltage holds steady above 15 V while supplying power to my charge my Zippy 2200 3s lipos.

Unless you need more than 5 amps of current, this is good choice for a DC power supply for compatible chargers (including the Imax and Accucel models).. And the price is right, too. It was delivered using EMS express shipping to America in 6 days (on a Saturday no less)! What more could you want?

Thanks Hobby City!

Really stable and with correct

Emiliano Calderon

Really stable and with correct voltage.

I tested the stability of this power supply for loads of up to 3A. It`s really maintains the stability not lowering the voltage less than 15V.
The constant voltage was exact 15.36v.

Great purchase!!!!

from Singapore. Works great with GT A6. It's the US style plug. Can easily get the required plug if not suitable at most hardware stores. No complains on this product, good consistent solid power.

I bought this power supply for the Imax charger. It works like a charm. Plug fits nicely on my charger. It gets a little warm at full load so be sure not to cover it during operation. The power lead is standard US so I had to use my own power lead.

I bought this Power Supply to use with my MAX E6 Digital Lipo Charger. No problems till now(one month of use), it works fine. But the plug was the US standart and you have to buy new.

Use this with my Loong Max E6 charger, it is perfect for this. The plug is the correct size and supplies enough power for charger without getting hot. The 5 amps supplied is enough for the chargers requirements. Only one slight problem, the ac plug is US style but is easily replaced as it is common type.

This power supply really is 5 star. I use it with Turnigy Accucel-6. It works great, it came with US plug, but it's easy to change it with an EU plug which you can buy almost everywhere. Under load, of the charger, it holds voltage pretty nice, doesnt come under 14,5v which I think its great under load! This really is 5 star, like it!
