[NSRCA-discussion] LI-IO packs

[SilentAV8R]

Sorry, can't help on the Cellpro charger. But I can confirm you are 
correct that the 4-cell (2S2P) 5,200 packs (Fromeco??) are charged using 
a 2S setting. I have charged using the LiPo setting before I got a 
charger that did Lion cells, not ideal from what the folks at Fromeco 
say, but it can be done.

A good option if you cannot sort out the cellpro is the iChargers from 
Progressive. I bought the little 106b and love it. Great little charger.
