Which bulk charger for Lipos?

[averhamdave]

Hi,
I have and use in my RC Hobby large lipo batteries - 6 cell, 5000mah Turnigys to be precise.

I have built up a 12S2p pack to run my bike on them and all works fine. I'm currently stripping the battery pack down and balance charging each cell on my Lipo charger as and when a recharge is necessary.

However as balance charging is only really necessary every 5 to 10 discharges I would like to bulk charge them as a whole and save the hassle of the stripdown.

I have looked at Lipo4 chargers on e-bay and asked questions of a couple of sellers about suitability of their chargers to charge these batteries and have no confidence in their replies.

Can anyone recommend such a charger? Thanks

I haven't balance charged my pack since October - that's around 100 cycles.

I use a Meanwell power supply to bulk charge.

The BMSBattery chargers are adjustable for voltage by turning a screw inside; however, they'll set it for you if you tell them which voltage you want in the options.
