Just noticed this 10 Amp charger can be used for A123 type cells, anyone have experience with it?

Thinking about buying one from Draganfly for $129 and free shipping. Here is a photo.

i am sure it is a nice charger / balancer and I love my TP1010C /210V combo just remember the 610 is only a 80 watt charger.

2SA123 = 7.3 volts charge to so 10 amps. max requires 73 watts however 3x3.65=10.95
95 sp 10 amps. charge rate would require 110 watts and the 610 falls short.

Hey Charles,
You can't beat the TP1010C, I have been using mine for almost two years with Zero problems. I have upgraded mine and a few others at the flying club(www.smrcf.com). I don't have any A123 batteries at this time, but I plan to try them for receiver and ignition batteries when the TP lipo's need to be replaced. I was thinking about the 610 as a portable to take to the flying field. I am using the Astro-flight 12v power supply with the tp1010C. We just installed 110v AC at each table and plan to add 12v DC later. I hope we have more good flying weather, it sure has been nice this season for flying. It looks like you get most of the bad weather before we do. Happy flying and thanks for the info.

I have a TP610C that I am using with a 3s2P A123 pack for control line stunt. To date I have a pack build by MEC that comes in a solderless molded package all prewired and ready to go. I have used the TP610C from both a Radio Shack 12VDC, 15A power supply and charged at 3amp for the first few charges (as recommended by MEC) then increased to 8amps, also charged from field 12V battery at 8amps worked great for me. One thing they could do better is with the instruction manual, you need to read it carefully as it is written for someone very familar with charges (with I was not as this was my first venture into electric power) but after a couple read thoughts you can figure it out.

for 10A charger, you can go to www.bphobbies.com , the CY-1010B can charge battery pack at up to 10A, 200W max. it supports 1-10S lipo/liFe, 1-27S nimh/nicd and up to 36V Pb battery pack.

Just picked up a 610c today really like the way it works. As stated above the instructions are written for people familiar with chargers somewhat. I didn't have any problems figuring out the charger settings and this will be a great 2nd charger to complement my cellpro 4s . on thing I am not quite sure of is my charger came with no connectors for the output, only the balance connector. I am assuming that they expect you to make your own connector as there are so many different types. For example I use Deans Ultra on my packs for my electric planes ( Lipo ) and am using dual JR type leads on my 2s A123 packs for my 30% SU-26 for the receiver and the Ignition. I made up a deans connector Using some 4mm bullet type plugs for the Lipo's and did the same for my A123 only I made it a into a Y harness so I could split tin incoming load to the A123 over both connectors and not try and pump over 3A through one JR connector. I will probably not exceed 5A on this setup to be safe. ( note ) My A123 are home made Dewalt packs with 2 JR type connectors on them with balance tabs.

anyway see pictures below

I got the 610 about a month ago. Directions stink but it works very well.

Here are a few off-sight links with some good info:
