<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is just a matter of Watts, the power supply that
makes 13.6V, the charger capability and the packs. My TP1010 can charge
10s at 5 amps which is 1C for a TP 5300 10s4p. It can charge the 5s4p at
10 Amps which is 2C. Smaller packs could be charged at 3C. In my
case the chargers limit the capability to about 200 Watts each. The
generator can deliver 1000W. The Iota power supply has a limit
of about 750 Watts. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just type in Honda 1000i in Google. I paid
about $650. It only weighs 28 pounds and it starts on the first
pull. I love this stuff.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I bought the Honda and am very happy with
it. I can run two 10s chargers at once so it should pay for itself
pretty fast if one needed two marine batteries per year.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only battery giving me a problem is the
lead acid Marine 'deep discharge' battery used for field
charging of the lipos. It has lost about 70% of it's capacity in
seven months.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It provided six 12min flts when new and was
purchased from Academy Surplus for $40. It has provided a total of
maybe 80 flights ( 30 cycles ??? ). The problem is likely due to my
maintenance ( lack thereof ). I left the battery in a partial
discharge state sometmes for weeks. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>You can
find maintenance needs on Google at agmbatteries, courtesy Earl
Haury.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>West Mountain sells a gell cell, 54#, 84ah,
rated for 500 cycles @ 100% discharge ( 20hr discharge rate ), $149 del. I
will see how it performs under our conditions.</FONT></DIV>
