For reference, the dealers use a charger that has similar specs as this one:

However, I feel the flash is safe with 10+ amp and a decent battery, all lights/electronics shut off. We have done numerous of these with this process and no bricked DMEs yet, even some of them with the flash taking nearly 20-30 minutes.

Anything less than 10 amps, the risk is on you if the battery voltage falls too low and we lose communication with the DME.

But, I can let others who received their flash chime in on the specific chargers they used .
