Status: offline 		Get ready for the most powerful, full-featured charger from FMA yet.
Once again, FMA redefines the capabilities of cutting edge charging technology.
They are putting the final touches on their new 10s charger design, and look to go into full production and
delivery of this powerful charger by mid-January time frame.

Look for these features and more when the Cellpro 10s Charger comes to market
Includes all the features of the popular Cellpro 4s Charger plus:



Up to 10A Max Charge Current

Continuous Power 300W (estimate)

Charges 1 Pack of 1s-10s or 2 Packs of 1s-5s Simultaneously

Includes Start/Stop Button

Backlit Liquid Crystal Display

Supports 2-way P.C. Interface

Displays Individual Cell Internal Resistance to 0.1 mohm Accuracy (Battery Quality Indicator)

Drive the Charger from the P.C.

Access Advanced Features from the P.C. (Setup Custom Presets, Adjust Speaker Volume, LCD Contrast, and More)

Integrated Upgradability (IU) Feature -- No need to send the charger to the factory for firmware upgrades again. Do it over the internet.

That's great news as I'm a new Li-Po user and will be in the market for a high quality 2-6 cell Li-Po charger very soon. This might be the ticket for my needs.

I didn't see it on the FMA website though.

Do you know if it will be a "balancing" charger or will you need a seperate balancer?

Status: offline 		That is exactly what I've been looking for. I love the CellPro 4S I have right now but wanted a 10A high-capacity charger for larger packs so I don't have to wait as long. This is perfect. Am looking forward to its release.

I doubt if you can mix chemistries if it programs the same as the CellPro 4S.

Status: offline 		The CellPro 10S has been under extensive testing by a number of beta testers (including the Battery Clinic) over the past 3 months to assure all the bugs were worked out. Yesterday we confirmed the last firmware revision that addressed an issue with charging 2 A123 packs. It appears now that all systems are go for a great charger that has passed critical testing by actual modelers. You will find its single button programming as easy as the very sucessful CellPro 4S. A great feature is that any time the unit is connected to your computer by way of the USB cable it will be checked for the latest firmware revision which can be downloaded directly to the unit if you chose to do so. Operation with the computer gives real time graphing of the charge process that can be saved for futur
