Triton vs. SuperNova
But the alpha (I have one) will only do 1 amp,.. and that's divided by the number of ports you have active,.. so 1 amp rate for one pack, 250mah ea if charging 4 at one, 1/2 amp if charging 2 packs at one,..etc.
. Pretty much useless unless you're just doing reciever packs. I've got a couple supernova's (work great, both over a year and a half old), and a schulze 636. Supernova's will do up to 25 cells and 5 amps, the schulze ,..36 cells and 8 amps. The automatic mode on the schulze is far better than the supernova's,.. even going to 8 amps, packs are cooler coming off the charger than from the supernova at 5 amps. 30-cell 2600mah hydride packs range from 24 minutes to 30 minutes to peak on the schulze, and come off cooler than breaking them up into multiple packs and charging on the supernova at 5 amps, which takes much longer to peak. The schulze and orbit products are really the "cream of the crop". If all you need to charge are little 4-cell and 5-cell reciever packs,..anything will do the job OK,.. no need to over-analyze the situation.
