<DIV>That's good news about the update. The overcharge error is the only
problem I've encountered with mine. Of course, right now, I'm not getting
any errors.... I don't have an Electric Impact to charge batteries for any
more... It decided to quit listening to the transmitter. The replacement
should be here early this week. I feel a building frenzy coming
on!!!!</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>TP charger and balancer....charging 10s all the time is
great....I would <BR>never want to go back to charging the packs
seperately.<BR><BR>I think for the moment only Schulze and TP make balancers
that are <BR>capable of dealing with 10s packs, the TP one is far cheaper than
the <BR>equivelent Schulze.<BR><BR>I use the Full charge setting and normally
recharge about 3500-4200 <BR>mAh....takes around 45-60 minutes for those
charge levels.<BR><BR>The one issue at the moment is that the over-voltage
cutout in the <BR>charger is a bit conservative and has a habit of being set
off while <BR>charging the big series packs....there is an update coming in
June that <BR>can be done through your computer that will improve this (need a
cable <BR>from TP to do it though). For the moment I have been charging
without <BR>the data cable to bypass this problem...works just as good but you
lose <BR>some safety features.<BR><BR>Chad<BR><BR>John Pavlick
