[NSRCA-discussion] Cell Pro chargers

[AtwoodDon at aol.com]

I have been using a 10S for several months now with only one negative  
incident.  I normally charge my 10S batteries as 2 5S packs, which I  consider my 
'normal' condition.  About 2 months ago, I plugged in my  batteries and 'poof', 
out came the magic smoke. Sent it in for repair and  they replaced the unit, 
no explanation of what the cause was.  I like the  unit and other than that one 
incident I have had no other issues. I bought the  unit primarily to be able 
to determine and track internal resistance of the  cells.  
 
While the 10S works fine as a charger, I don't care for the user  interface.  
Basically, you have 2 buttons to control and program everything  with one of 
those buttons dedicated to start and stop.  While it may reduce  manufacturing 
or programming costs, it makes the user interface cumbersome at  best.

I am  curious what folks have experinced with these.
I bought a 4s at Toledo last  year and it had a fatal (FMA's words) software 
failure
within a couple  months.  The new one is very temperature sensitive.  That is 
it  
will go in to "cold weather" charge even when in the 74F house.  Now  that 
I'm going to go
electric I was looking at a 10s but I know someone  that has one that appears 
to be failing.
I know a couple incidents doesn't  indict the whole line but I don't know 
that many people that
have these for  good or bad.  I'd like to hear what other folks have  seen.
Thanks!
