    You need something capable of outputting 300V at > 100 mA. Pretty much only a lab power supply will do that off the shelf.

    That leaves charging individual modules. The cheapest option is to buy a 48V NiMH charger from Tenergy and do 7 modules at a time for a couple hours each. A Superbrain 989 will do 4 modules at a time with a higher current rate but is more expensive and you need a fan blowing on the pack to keep it cool.
