tashspop -> charger availible now (3/15/2008 4:01:34 AM)
i'm looking for a top notch charger that can fast charge, and balance. i also want it to do both a123 and lipo batteries, and i want it to not only have balance capabilities, but also a single +/- connection for a simple deans hookup. what are some good options? i'm thinking under $200, but budget will be looked at depending on what i like. also important part. the largest packs ive made have been 6s packs, so at least able to do those. i really don't think i'll build anything bigger, although i do run 12cell in one car with 2 6cell packs.

Go to fmadirect.com and look at CellPro10. 1-10S LiPoly and A123 . Charge rates up tp 10 amps. I have one and using a 12 volts source it will charge 3S A123 at 10 amsp. 4S at approx. 9.5 amps. 5S at approx. 8.8 amps. Built in balancer .. Note must be used with balancing, can not be used with main leads only. $190 Charles

you can also find what you want on chargery.com, 1010B is for 1-10S lipo/li-ion/liFe(a123 cell), 1-27S nimh/nicd, 2-36V Pb battery, Built-in cell balancer, charge, discharge, fast charge, storage, cycel and monitor program make it do anything. up to 10A or 200w for charging power, the body is 1409825. connect the battery to the balance port and main leads to balance and charge, only connect the battery to the main leads to do what you want to do except balancing.

I agree that balancing should be an option and not mandatory. My guess is that FMA is concerned with product libility issues. Someone charges a battery with charger set to wrong cell count ,starts a fire and sues the charger's manufacture. I believe that is why they insist on using balancing leads as charger uses these to detect / set cell count. I do not own or have first hand experience with any hyperion chargers but they seem to be good. IMO neither Hyperion or FMA have the greatest customer support but then that is just my opinion.

what about the xtrema? is it something i should be looking into? im a little confused with its output, says upto 8000mha so i guess 8amp charge, but 4000millia on 10s so 4amp charge. am i reading this right? so itll be a bit on the slow side compaired to the others. its nice that it has a watt meter built in it though
