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

[Don Ramsey]

I you are using iChargers, color code the wire and then you are much less
likely to plug them in incorrectly.  My balance board has one red connection
and my attachment wire has one red lead.  Red to red and you will not be
wrong.

I ran Cellpros and Ichargers and had problems with both. I now run the
Thunderpower TP820's and they, to date, are doing the job. I had several
Cellpros go up in smoke and eventually gave up on them and got a refund. The
Ichargers are not idiot proof when it comes to hooking up the wires. If you
don't do it right you can fry the balance boards. My Ichargers also had
callibration problems that probably shortened the life of some of my packs.
I use 5S packs of course.

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?
