<P>I don't use the charger but I have considered it if/when I need to replace my Simprop charger (similar to SuperNova).

<P>As for power supplies, I would recommend at least a good 12V 10A bench supply, they are about $50 from Parts Express (<A href="http://www.partsexpress.com/">www.partsexpress.com</A>). I know a lot of people use surplus computer power supplies. If you do, make sure the 12V output is up to the needs of your charger. If you plan on charging high capacity packs with cell counts of 8 or more, the chargers internal circuitry will draw more current from the power supply than the charge rate setting. Example: An 10 cell 3000mAH NiMH pack peaks at 18 volts or so. Lets say you are kind to your batteries and charge at a 3000mAH rate. Using V x A to calculate watts, 3000mAH X 18 volts = 54 Watts of power going to the battery. The charger will have to draw that much power from the supply (+ a little more to run itself) so 54W/12v=4.5 amps drawn from the supply. A 10 amp rating should be enough to handle two chargers simultaneously for most charging needs.
