What is the max charge rate (amp) you think it would get off AC?

ukd555The amp rating is meaningless unless the watts can back it up. That is what is important in a charger. It states 2s-4s, a 4s pack will want to charge at close to 16 volts. The electrical math says the volts divided into the watts will give you the amperage rate. 40 / 16 =2.5. I don't know if you tried, but a straight charge on a 4s pack like an ebuggy pack(5000-6700 mah) will take close to a couple hours at that rate. That isn't a balance charge, which is really what should be done each time. You can add another hour or more for that. Since this charger maxes at 3 amps any pack over 3000 mah (3 amps) will have to be charged at a less than 1 C rate also. Most 2s car packs are 4000-5000 mah
It seems this charger is more in line for charging drone packs which are typically a lot smaller in capacity.
