DIY INSPIRE 1 POWER SUPPLY "CHARGER"

The Inspire 1 comes with a 100Watt Power Supply to be used with the built in charger on the batteries. These ask up to 180Watts from the charger, which is in excess of 80Watts for just a single battery. When charging the battery and the remote controller at once this might or not lead to higher temperatures on the power supply, slower times on the charging of the batteries and remote controller and certainly leaves you without the ability to charge multiple batteries at the same time as the power supply does not offer but one "charging terminal". The Remote controller requires 100Watts sot the provided power supply might be adequate for charging it.

So, this leaves us with Aftermarket charges... and DIY options for the time being. These can be very expensive, and easily reach $300 and above, and as of now are not easily found "in stock".

The Inspire 1 Supplied Power supply costs about $60 to $80 USD, so I went to find a solution that would have more available Watts for multiple battery charging options at a comparable price.

This is what I came up with:

20Amp (500 Watts) 24vdc 10+- adjustable voltage Power Supply with 3 Terminal Leads. $50.00 Shipped (Amazon)

3x Part kit 34 (will allow for 3 Remote Charger and 3 batteries terminals) you can choose combination of what you are charging to near the 500W. $24.00 (ebay)

3ft power cord 20amp rated and a 20 amp rated Plug (Lowes) $7.00

So for $81.00 you can charge 2 batteries and a remote at once... and have about 40watts to spare or charge 3 batteries at once with a deficiency of about 40watts..which is still better than 80watts deficit on a single battery when using provided Power Supply

It it not the prettiest... however it delivers!!! and for about the price of a single Inspire 1 Power Supply... Might be a great buy for those of us that charge Home.. and carry the smaller power supply as your "travel" power supply or you can certainly travel with this one as as well and take with you as well or dress it up in a box...

Instead of loading 6 batteries into a single large capacity Power supply thus taking the chance that if it burns out (putting you out from the ability to charge ANY battery) you can buy two of these and if something breaks on one you still have a second one to keep you going for less than half the price!
