I'm considering buying a Hobbico Accu-Cycle Elite charger/cycler because Tower's catalog implies you can charge two battery packs at the same time, but after scanning the Elite user manual (downloaded from Hobbico's website) I have a question about that:

On page two, specifications state "For BOTH Outputs" it can handle 1-10 NiCds or NiMHs. Does this mean both outputs can support 10 cells at the same time? If I charge my Tx (8 cells) and Rx (4 cells) packs at the same time I've exceeded the 10-cell limit. Or should the heading have read "For EACH Output:", meaning the Elite can handle up to 20 cells?

Thanks,
Bidwin

The 10-cell NiCd/NiMH limitation is per output.

I've had no trouble using mine to charge 2 rx batteries, 2 tx batteries, or any other combination of batteries at one time.

I love mine...but one thing you might run into....

the provided 12 power supply is quite low on Amps (2.5) What does that mean... you cannot charge both outputs at 2A at the same time with that power supply....

I converted a Computer power supply with much higher amperage on the 12v rail and that allows me to use full capacity on both outputs when needed....

it will also charge at 2A on both channels running off of a 12v battery with decent amperage.....

so the power supply is the only limitation....
