[NSRCA-discussion] Honeywell generator question

[Bob Richards]

Dave,
 
Let us know how that works.
 
I would think that charging at 2C vs 1C is NOT going to be twice as fast, since once you get into the voltage-limited part of the cycle, the current starts to drop off regardless. What I have seen is that packs with the lowest internal resistance charge must faster because the period spent during the constant-voltage phase is much less. I have some Li-Ion receiver packs in a giant-scale plane that take forever compared to Lipos because of this fact.

The benefit of faster charging really decreases once you get to 3C...there
is still the ramp up/down time, but as I get new packs, I'll be charging at
2 or 3C as long as the charger can keep up.  I'll wait for Chad's report on
his first foamy pack to hit 100 cycles at 5C charging. <G>
