(Update power supply is getting a 3 prong plug to give us USA folks a nice ground)

In today's review we check out the CB86 8 Port Lipo Charger from Best Hobby Mall and the 12V 30A Power Supply that you need to power this awesome compact charger. After hours of use not one issue from either system.

I notice you had an update , why change over to a different power supply? plans change for the metal case or it didn't work so well? I must have this charger , been running the same sinlge battery charger for years now , thanks for the video , ill get this one and a power supply for home and a 4 port charger for the field! Maybe give my single port to my dad since he can barley run it nevermind an 8 port!!!!! haha

No its all good talked with them today and there just adding a three prong plug to the kit just ask for it in your order notes. Mine works great you will like it.

Pretty much a parallel charger not my cup of tea but thanks for the review, I was going to buy one thinking it could charge different batteries at the same time, you saved me some bucks

It charges singles and in parallel. I put a mix of 1300 to 4000 and it charges those it can in parrellel and the others as singles. Fast charger and its nice to put so many on there and not worry about it.

If you have an old, but working power supply from a PC, save yourself some money. Plus an old PC power supply usually has much more wattage, from 80 to 500. In addition, a PC PS not only provides 12V, but 5V and 3V rails (colored wires) for testing servos, mini cameras and other electronics where 12V is too much.
