Re: Battery Charging Station

Doing the math puts charging 3 batteries between 150 and 220 Watts. Add a 50 watt laptop, a 30 watt cordless drill charger, and a few other accessories, plus losses and teams are gonna push that 400 watt limit real quick. I hope they can find a way to increase it, even if its only to like 6 amps per team instead of 4.
