Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / February 2004MRC 969 Pro - AC amperes?
Anybody know how many amps the MRC 969 Pro, will charge off an AC source? It says it will do 4.5 off DC, but I usually charge indoors. Matt It comes with a 5 amp power supply, so 4.5 or so will be about all you could expect. Fred >Anybody know how many amps the MRC 969 Pro, will charge off an AC source?

The only other dual charger I saw is the Intellipeak, it does 3.5 for AC & DC. The price isn't bad. > It comes with a 5 amp power supply, so 4.5 or so will be about all you > could expect.

The price isn't bad. The MRC 969 will only charge one 7.2v battery @ 4.5 amps while using the included power supply. If you want to charge 2 7.2v batteries at the same time (ie: E-Maxx), you'll need a better power supply. Scott -- A: Yes Q: Is top-posting annoying? Thanks for the input Scott. I've been researching dual chargers today on newsgroups. It came down to 3: Duratrax Intellipeak Dual Charger - Many people have had problems with this, old ones even burned up. MRC 969 - People had good things to say about it. They say it can charge 2 batteries at 3 amps each. Dynamite Twin Peak - This one seemed like the best deal to me. I don't need all the bells and whistles, just some good brute power. > >That's not bad if it can do both batteries, indoors, at 4.5 amps.

We run three cars in the races and this charger does a fine job at basic charging. Damn, I realized that charger is out of stock at Horizon Hobbies and some other places. Do you know of any reputable stores online that carry it? I check around locally here too, but I didn't really want to spend a ton of $.
