Title: Battery chargers/stabilizers for flashing Post by: bobbyz0r on March 23, 2017, 10:03:39 PM What do you guys use (if any) while flashing to stabilize battery voltage?
I'm thinking of getting a CTEK MXS25, which does 25A and has the stable 13.6v supply mode. Mainly looking for ones when flashing over OBD. Also, anyone using interesting set ups like modified PC PSUs?

I'm currently using a cheap manual (thankfully) 2700mA charger, but I plan to flash some newer cars (EDC17, MED17, SIMOS 10/12/18), and don't want to take any chances. Also, my flash tool doesn't show voltage while flashing, which is bloody annoying. But I agree, for ME7, MED9, etc.., I expect 5A to be plenty.
