Default RE: What Battery Pack for e-pattern

Mike,

The charge time does not increase. A quick word of advice when using the 109's my chargers will charge the packs to different levels. one charger peaks at 20.95 volts and the other at 20.80volts. This is the chargers doing this. If you have a watt meter check the two packs after charging and see if they do this. If so what I would recommend would be after the charge is complete put the lower pack on the higher charger and let it run at 2 amps. We did this at the nats and it put almost 300 mah more into quiques pack.

That really sucks man :-) The Schulzes hit within 0.005V almost on every charge....when charging seperately they dont often vary by more than 50 mAh. A pack of mine just finished charging and hot off the charger one was 20.999 and the other was 21.002. Depending on how deep you discharge the packs dictates how close they need to be.....if you are going further than 80% discharge 0.01V between the packs should be the most.

The new 10 cell balancer will eliminate this problem as it will match the pack voltages while charging.
