The 1010C consumes 250W peak while charging a 10s @5A (measured consumption during charge between charger and PS)....
Just an FYI for those trying to figure out how much charing power they will need.
So in other words the Iota @ 740W peak wont handle 3 1010C's.
The draw from the PS is probably slightly more due to additional losses.

It is just a matter of Watts, the power supply that makes 13.6V, the =
charger capability and the packs. My TP1010 can charge 10s at 5 amps =
which is 1C for a TP 5300 10s4p. It can charge the 5s4p at 10 Amps =
which is 2C. Smaller packs could be charged at 3C. In my case the =
chargers limit the capability to about 200 Watts each. The generator =
can deliver 1000W. The Iota power supply has a limit of about 750 =
Watts. =20
Just type in Honda 1000i in Google. I paid about $650. It only weighs =
28 pounds and it starts on the first pull. I love this stuff.

Can you go to 2 or 3C charging with the Honda ? Can I see the Honda on =
the web ? Thanks Nat

I bought the Honda and am very happy with it. I can run two 10s =
chargers at once so it should pay for itself pretty fast if one needed =
two marine batteries per year.

The only battery giving me a problem is the lead acid Marine 'deep =
discharge' battery used for field charging of the lipos. It has lost =
about 70% of it's capacity in seven months.
It provided six 12min flts when new and was purchased from Academy =
Surplus for $40. It has provided a total of maybe 80 flights ( 30 cycles =
??? ). The problem is likely due to my maintenance ( lack thereof ). I =
left the battery in a partial discharge state sometmes for weeks. You =
can find maintenance needs on Google at agmbatteries, courtesy Earl =
Haury.
West Mountain sells a gell cell, 54#, 84ah, rated for 500 cycles @ =
100% discharge ( 20hr discharge rate ), $149 del. I will see how it =
performs under our conditions.
