Status: offline 		You can contact YNT (see the website) for information, quesitons, and orders.

I've now got the website updated with more information on the PowerCube but still have a little "tweaking" to do. Soon I'll have some examples of the tests that I, myself, have performed. We're also planning on developing an updated version of the documentation, with more specific examples and samples procedures, to meet the needs of the North American market.

Very interesting unit.

FWIW, I for one would prefer a direct USB connection rather than having to use an RS232 with a Converter. Of course, that's just MHO.

Good luck with it.

Status: offline 		I hear ya' RPM, I hear ya'. The designers are working on it as we speak. I have no idea why they just didn't implement USB to begin with, but the RS232 is working flawlessly and I have no issues there. The other addition that I, personally, would like to see is a temp probe safety sensor. I've not had any problems with ANY of the packs that I've been working with. I have an infrared temp gun and frequently check the temperature as they charge or discharge. Haven't run into any thermal issues to this point, but I'd feel a little better with the addition of a temp probe cut-off, as I say, as an additional safety device.

Thanks for the good-luck wishes!
