He bought his charger from a German shop.
The charger is made by Modiary in China

@PXSS I’d be interested; I want a charger that I can adjust to 41V, just to elongate cells lifespan and to avoid hitting the overcharge threshold due to regen (as unlikely as that is). I’d even settle for a 2A version that is adjustable.

I just bought an mean well charger which is often used by the people on the ebike forums. I got it for 25€ incl. postage in Germany. Its the CLG-150-48V model which can be adjusted from approx. 38-58V. You can also adjust the current.

Interesting - link to where you purchased?

It’s this one. Just sent him an offer of 20€ and he accepted 
try less…
Just realised that this wouldn’t be suitable for me as I don’t have a BMS and the over current protection it too high to act as a cut off. I have fitted a balance plug during my battery build so maybe I bite the bullet and add a BMS!?

@treenutter But 2A is so painfully slow… I’ll keep you updated.
@Norco Do it!
@TranxFu, interesting… will look more into it. Might use it as leverage to bargain the price of the chinese one. 
Haha but I am trying so hard to keep it simple.
Nothing simpler than plug in charger and place knob on full charge an hour before a ride and after the ride place knob back on storage for an hour. Battery always remains healthy and you dont have to fuss with any other chargers etc.

I suppose I could just bypass the discharge on the bms and get something like this. Might as well ask here but what are you guys doing about the charging port? I have seen many 5.1mm plugs but they dont seem to be rated for the amps?
I bought it through their eBay store and because I’ve had much difficulty getting anything shipped from them on a previous order l opted for express shipping which was still slow.
Digikey has many that are.
@TranxFu, a lot of what I’ve read about that power supply is that the range is too high for what I want but it’s a pretty good find!
Does this fit what you are looking for? It seems too good to be true for the price, $9.99 + Free Shipping… http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-110-220V-5A-10s-Charger-For-36V-37V-42V-45V-Lithium-Lion-Battery-240W/322414833571?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D9c655ea3b51f49d6b1d9a33772e9531d%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D371796709866

I dont know. The details dont say anything about voltage being adjustable and I’m wary of shopping through ebay and getting something other than what I need
Could you just add a step-down voltage regulator to your power supply? Run at full voltage for charging, and step it down for storage
Like this one here (But hopefully much cheaper): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FNVESV2/ref=twister_B01HCXSSA6
I’d be interested in a 12S adjustable power supply, but I feel I am in the minority. 10S seems to be much more popular here. Maybe you could expand the adjustability up to 50.4V to suit everyone?
I could but I’m really going for simplicity here. I am not the main user of the board. The board is for my girlfriend so I’m trying to make it as user friendly, hassle free (and cheap) as possible.
The less components I have, the fewer components can go wrong.
I’ll see what I can do. The lady I’ve been talking to has been very accommodating so far so I think I can make it happen as long as it doesn’t carry a premium.
Update to all: They’re asking for $50 without shipping so I’ll be passing on it but if anyone else is interested PM me and I’ll give you the contact details.
