Default RE: Questions from first time pattern electric

Bottom line is:

It does NOT show INDIVIDUAL cell IR's. When parallel charging, maybe it shows cumulative or average of 2 parallel cells? Or total pack IR? I don't know, but it doesn't show INDIVIDUAL CELL IR's.

It CANNOT series charge 10S packs.

This is why it is not ideal for electric 2-meter Pattern, which is virtually without exception a 10S world.

I am aware that the PL8 - combined with a good power source - can mash some serious mAh's, but that is only one criterion when choosing a charger.

The Cellpro 10S is not as fast because it is limited to 14v input, whereas the 10XP can handle up to 32v input. With a 24v power supply, recharges are quite fast. With 4 battery sets, it can charge them faster than I can fly them.

Not for nothing, there's an awful lot of 10XP's and 10S's at the field when you go to pattern meets.
