It should as long as you don't plan on charging at more than 4 to 5 amps.
I like to have apower suply that has an amp rating of at least 2 amps more than my highest charge rate.
So if you want to charge at 3 amps, the power supply should be able to put out a minumum of 5 amps. But then again, I use a 45 amp power supply and run 2 Turbo 35 chargers. I know it is a bit of over kill but it works with less heat that way.
I recamend get the biggest, highest amp, power supply you can afford. Having too much is better than not enough. Not enough could damage your chargers.

Agreed.

Also, look at the AC/DC chargers, many of them aren't any more expensive than you're already willing to spend - and simply plug into the wall. Obviously, if you need a power supply for other purposes as well this wont work, just a suggestion.

The power supply that comes with that combo is available seperately for the same price as the other power supply you linked too. If you like the first combo you posted (which comes with three batteries) then you could get the original combo you posted, but get that 20A power supply instead of the one you originally listed.

Before you order you might want to check out Hobbycity as well. They have a similar charger to the one you are looking at, and just about the best Li-Po prices for very decent packs.

Your ps is about 100+ watts and the charger is only 50 watts max, they would be fine together even if you use the charger at it's max power all the time.
