Battery Chargers

[David Flynt]

Don,

I have and still use the Sirius Pro charger for nicads and nimh packs, and I 
also have a AstroFlight 110 Deluxe charger.  If I had to have only one, the 
110 is more versatile.  It figures out how many cells you are charging, from 
1 to 24, it discharges from 1 to 24, it charges at 50 ma to 8a.  They are 
both nice.  The sirius has no knobs and charges in a manner that does not 
require discharge.  The sirius pro can charge nimh up to 3000 mah if you 
send it in for $35 upgrade.

I just purchased a nimh 4.8v 2300 mah receiver pack and a 9.6v 2300 mah 
transmitter pack from Batteries America.  I plan to use the sirius at the 
field because it is so simple, however the charge rate is slow compared to 
the adjustable rate of the 110, so that is a bit of a tradeoff.

I'll tell you another thing.  I purchased a Pyramid PS15KX 10 Amp Regulated 
Power Supply from millionbuy.com for $40.  This thing is awesome, and the 
price is great. It has a cigarette plug and another set of outputs.  I use 
it for charging nicds, nimh, li-polys, and whatever else I need to power at 
home.

Regards,

David Flynt
