<DIV><FONT size=2>False peaking is an indication of excessive fast
charging.... check voltage of each cell in the affected packs. You
are probably going to find significant deviation between cells.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If I am correct... charge each cell individually. and
then go to using a lower charge rate. 4C is for "desperation" when you get
to a contest and find you forgot to charge the RX the night before... and you
are first up.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm getting no false peaking from my Hobbico MK-II.
Using it a lot for NiCds for E-powered planes and for field charging the RX and
TX packs. (NiCd and NiMh) Also for 2 and 3 cell LiPos smaller than 2000
mah.</FONT></DIV>

2007</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have recently found that my Hobbico MkII has
been false peaking my packs. For the investment we have in our planes, I need
something better and reliable. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once I researched I found that chargers are like
candy bars, there are no less than 30 that are acceptable. I mainly just want
to charge Ni-mh and an occassional Li-po would be nice but not total
necessary. Dual outputs would also be fairly important. I was considering the
new multiplex charger and also a Sirius for field charging. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any help, suggestions, or what works
well for you. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW i did search the archives but most of the
discussion was circa <2002</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>.
