[NSRCA-discussion] Dodged a Bullet Today!!!!

[Dean Pappas]

Funny, but I've been using mine, safely for a long time.
A Charge Protection Module (I''ve been using an FMA unit) will make doubly sure by breaking the charge connection if any one cell goes over-volt.

Like I said, "topping" it off is a no no with this charger.

Nope!,...... I think that I might have also had a similar experience with the Astro charger. 
I had a pak that had been in storage for about 3 weeks and decided to top it off before flying, but noticed when I connected it to the charger that it started out at the maximum voltage and started increasing from there into territory I had never seen before.Recognizing that I had never seen voltages this high displayed on the screen before, I immediately terminated the charge. This all happened within a period of 15-20 seconds.
