[NSRCA-discussion] Why Cellpro 10S/10XP?

[Peter Vogel]

So I'll preface this by saying I was flying large + hv packs before I was
flying pattern, so my charging gear preceded my pattern involvement and
therefore I seem to be the odd man out when it comes to my charging gear --
I'm running an iCharger 3010 charger (1000W max charge power, up to 30Amps,
10S) for my larger packs, and an iCharger 208b (350w max, 8S, 20 amps)  off
a meanwell SE-1000-24 1000watt/24volt power supply.  I'm thinking about
upgrading the 208b to something capable of handling a second 10s pack for
charging two simultaneously.  Another 3010 is an obvious choice for me, but
I'm wondering why everyone in the pattern community likes the CellPro 10S
(can't handle 24 volts, but the XP can) so much, specs don't tell the whole
story or the 3010 would be an obvious winner...

So, why do y'all like the CellPro?  Anyone using something other than the
Cellpro or the iCharger to do 10S?  what drove your choice?
