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

[Mark Grant]

   I've been using two Cellpro 10S with the FMA DC supply's for a few 
years. They've been reliable and I use them for 10S pairs on down to 2S 
pairs in foamy's. I've have blown the fuse, which happens when I've 
crossed the balanced leads and the main power leads between the two 
packs. I've had a PL8 for about a year , but didn't like all the wires 
and balance boards needed to parallel charge. I just got FMA's new MPA 
parallel charge board and it looks promising. I like the how everything 
is fused, and only one set of wires to the PL8 for 6 packs.
   Have a good day.
