I have the ProTek "Super Pro 40" power supply, and I really like it, so I'm not just bashing here for no reason. I just got this thing today. I plugged it in and everything seemed to work fine...so I thought. Then, as I started to charge my first 2 batteries, all hell broke loose. I have the ProTek Prodigy 620 Duo charger, which can charge at up to 20 amps per channel simultaneously. So, I started to charge 2 batteries, which are Turnigy Nano-Tech 6S 45C 5000mAh. I put them on Balance Mode at 10 amps each. The fuse blew. I went to Radio Shack to get more fuses (12 of them to be exact). Came home, stuck a new fuse in, and it blew the 2nd fuse as soon as I turned it on (with no load, nothing plugged into the power supply). So after the 8th fuse blew, I was just about to give up. But then for shits and giggles I stuck the 9th fuse in. It turned on! And then proceeded to SHOOT SPARKS AND FIRE AND SMOKE OUT OF THE FAN HOLES ON THE BACK!!!! I immediately unplugged the damn thing. I put ANOTHER fuse in it, and now it turns on just fine, but will not supply any power to the output terminals. The voltage on the LCD display reads ZERO. This thing is now completely fried. I called customer service to get an RMA so that I can send it back for a refund/replacement. The customer service agent (Nate) who helped me told me that he has heard of this type of thing happening with the "Super Pro 2000" power supply. They are having problems with this unit. Nice guy and told me the truth, which I appreciate very much. BUT BEWARE OF THIS UNIT. It's a great idea, but in reality it's dangerous. I would not recommend this to anyone. Get the "Super Pro 40" or maybe the "Super Pro 1000", but I have no experience with the "Super Pro 1000" so I cannot comment on its quality. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
