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

[Anthony Romano]

Since I configure my packs as 10s to save weight it limited my choices. At the time the 10s was a good value alternative to TP1010. Similiar output, lower price, compact and more durable. My pair have served me pretty well but now would like to charge at higher rates.
 
Was curious about the i3010 but had heard of some failures. Picked up a 10xp and it is basically a 10s with multi chemistry, discharge and 15A output if fed properly. So far I like it alot but haven't charged anything bigger than a 4s.

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?
