Help! Isdt Q6 Lite Question/Umx Timber Question

[RHengelsberg]

I am looking to upgrade to an Isdt q6 lite. It is an 8 amp, 600-watt lipo charger. Could I use it with a 15 volt, 3 amp power supply?

You can, but if you start pulling more than 45W you will melt the power supply. My general rule of thumb is to not exceed 80% of electrical ratings for more than a few minutes or things get really hot and degrade fast. That leaves you with 36W to use safely, which is still 3A @ 12V.

That charger is rated at 200W. Ideally you want a power supply that at least matches that to use it to it's full potential.

Yes. Per ISDT's page, the max voltage for the q6 lite is 12a, and can handle any voltage from 7-32v.
