[NSRCA-discussion] Honeywell generator question

[GEORGE KENNIE]

Probably no one remembers, but about 3 years ago I was on here reporting about my experience charging at 5C with no increase in 
input temps while charging, and as regards charge time, the charger indicated 12 minutes right on the money. In addition my buddy
Joe Laplante has been charging at 5C for over a year now and claims to have almost 500 cycles on a Rhino 2200 3s Pak.

Who knew?

        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>
