Default RE: 6060i question


Jason,

Thank you for clearing up those issues for me.

I am torn between the 0606 and the 0610. My hangup is charge time for bigger packs.

Can you explain how you approximated the 80-90 min charge time for a 6000 mah pack?

What happens when you move to a pack like a 2S 8000 mah. You'd have to charge below 1C with the 0606. What kind of times are we talking about for bigger packs.

What are the implications of charging at rates higher than 1C (provided the pack can handle this)? Is it recommended? Does it reduce pack life?

Flip side, what are the implications of charging below 1C which is what would be required of the 0606 on bigger packs.

I am wondering if I should just go with the 0610 so I can change bigger packs at 1C and/or charge smaller packs at 1.5-2.0 (with balancing as you recommended).

What charger would you recommend for someone who foresees charging 6000 - 8000 mah packs in the future?

Many thanks
-Mike
