[NSRCA-discussion] Blinky balancer

[Rex LESHER]

That's good news about the update.  The overcharge error is the only problem I've encountered with mine.  Of course, right now, I'm not getting any errors....  I don't have an Electric Impact to charge batteries for any more... It decided to quit listening to the transmitter.  The replacement should be here early this week.  I feel a building frenzy coming on!!!!

  TP charger and balancer....charging 10s all the time is great....I would 
  never want to go back to charging the packs seperately.

  I think for the moment only Schulze and TP make balancers that are 
  capable of dealing with 10s packs, the TP one is far cheaper than the 
  equivelent Schulze.

  I use the Full charge setting and normally recharge about 3500-4200 
  mAh....takes around 45-60 minutes for those charge levels.

  The one issue at the moment is that the over-voltage cutout in the 
  charger is a bit conservative and has a habit of being set off while 
  charging the big series packs....there is an update coming in June that 
  can be done through your computer that will improve this (need a cable 
  from TP to do it though).  For the moment I have been charging without 
  the data cable to bypass this problem...works just as good but you lose 
  some safety features.
