<DIV>Something that is very important: Thunder Power has one of the best services that I ever seen in the RC industry. I believe that they have been working hard to solve the problems. For example, just before the Nats. I had a problem with one of the chargers. I called them and they sent me a new one right away using special delivery service so I could get the charger before leaving to Muncie. I believe that the new charger is a lot better than the previous versions. No, I am not sponsored.</DIV>

<DIV>I have the same problems with the chargers. TP replaced one of the chargers twice. The second charger had similar problems described below. Now, both charges are having the same problems described below and I am requesting TP to replace under warranty. In regard the batteries I have the following experience with 3 5000 Extremes:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1.- Two of batteries had early failure. One bad connection and the other one has a cell problem.</DIV>
<DIV>2. After completing about 30 cycles in each two of the batteries failed with similar problems. We are requesting TP to replace under warranty.</DIV>

Charging 5300 Prolite packs I had frequent "wrong cell <BR>> count" errors, shut down for no reason and all manner of beeping, blinking and <BR>> "activity" from the balancers. Often, after getting an error, simply <BR>> disconnecting and restarting the process would result in no errors, but <BR>> occasionally the "fatal error" would persist requiring me to bypass the damn <BR>> balancers to get the cells charged. I went so far as to buy a second set of <BR>> balancers thinking the I might have a bad "batch" but they all work or didn't <BR>> work the same. After a "successfull" charge through the "balancers" I could put <BR>> my ba! ttery
o n the balancer passively and it would continue to beep blink and so- <BR>> on for a while. As far as I could tell they were never balanced. <BR>> <BR>> I finally sold the TP 's and am now using TME Extrema's with the V-balancer <BR>> modules from Duralite. The V-balancers are GREAT. They do all the things that <BR>> the TP 210 's are supposed to do, but they actually work. I'm using these with <BR>> the same old TP 5300 prolites, so it isn't that I had a bunch of bad batteries. <BR>> <BR>> I'm anxious to see what TME comes up with for their integrated balancer which is <BR>> in Beta testing now and supposed to be in production this fall. <BR>> <BR>> I'm clearly in the minority here, but I thought the TP products were overhyped, <BR>> under documented and functioned poorly. <BR>> <BR>> George <BR>> ---- Ihncheol Park <PNAHOBBIES@SBCGLOBAL.NET>wrote: <BR>> > Hi, All, <BR>> > <BR>> > For those flying E-Power on anyt! hi
