12amp Victor Engineering Power Supply???

[savage slayer]

Trying to find out if the 12amp Victor Engineering Power Supply will push 2 triton chargers??

Like any decent power supplies, it should as long as you don't overtax it, i.e., as long as the total current output of the two chargers doesn't exceed the PS's capacity(so you could run both chargers at 6 amps, for example & it should be fine, but no more than that)....:cool:

At 6A for LESS than 12v each. If you're charging higher voltage packs, the psu will have to deliver more current. Keep that in mind also.

On top of that, figure in efficiency and a bit of "over rating" by the manufacturers. I'd keep it under 4A/charger @ 12V myself, or 48W input per charger for input power (96 total).

Sticker on the back of my Victor 12a PS says 138watts continuous and 165peak. DVM says its putting out 13.8vdc, so you're good for 10a total continuous. The rated 12a would bring it to the 165watt peak rating.

Just make sure it can cool itself - don't let anything block or cut it off from cooling air. If I was going to push it right to its rated capacity, I'd have a separate fan blowing on it to help it stay cool.

Mine's been a great PS - one of my best rc purchases, was $35 shipped, cheapie, but def a goodie.

Tritons are 90 watts MAX or 84 watts average power. It won't make it if the chargers are going to be maxxed out.

But it will run a dozen Tritons if the total load is kept below 125 watts or so.
