On the home page of this website under 'Custom Charging Box' the photo shows a nice power distribution panel between the chargers. Does anyone know if this was home made or a off the shelf product? If off the shelf where it can be purchased?

Thanks
Dave

RC Accessory has them

They work well but are not as heavy duty as I would like. The banana jacks get pretty hot when changing a 10S pack at 5 amps. I made a bunch of heavy wire jumpers below the face panel to handle the higher current better. The panel works well, it would be nice if it was a littler heavier duty.

In anticipation of the arrival of my second Cellpro 10S, I built a power strip this past weekend. Hopefully, it will handle Two cellpro 10s and a 4s (receiver) pack chargers all at once. Powered by an IOTA 55 via a Honda 2k generator.

Looks good!
What gauge wire is that you have connecting the female banana plugs?

10 gauge from the connection post to the (female banana) binding posts. I'll be using 8 gauge from the iota to the box. I have maybe $15 and an hour's time in the whole shebang.
