color=#0000ff>This is the exact same idea that the NMP lithium ion charger works
on. The charger is a regulated 8.4V so when you hook the discharged 2 cell lipo
or li-ion pack to it it charges the same way. In the case of the NMP charger it
takes about an hour to fully charge the li-ion packs.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=015250417-01082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>It can't over charge, it can't screw up the packs, as the packs
only take what they need, and the max voltage for the whole deal is 8.4V which
is the exact same voltage as the full charged pack. So its a "bubba" proof
system. I have been using this charger on my small 2 cell lipos like the 1320's
that I ran in my Euphoria at the NATS. Its works great Plug it up go have dinner
and when you came back out its charged up.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

meter the guy in the video was using. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

charge on constant voltage like Lipos.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=015250417-01082008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>Another thing you can do with the NMP charger is attach your
balancer to the pack and then use the charger to charge it up. Yes the balancer
doesn't talk to the charger but it will discharge the higher cell if there is an
imbalance at the same time the NMP charger is allowing steady voltage to charge
the entire pack to max voltage. The neat thing about this charger is you can't
set it wrong. There is nothing to set. Nothing to adjust. Nothing for "bubba" to
mechanic on.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff>The downside is that it only does 2 cell packs. But this is what
we are using for the model side of things.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff>I've used the NMP charger for about 5 years and never damaged a 2
cell pack with it. I even thought about making one for the 3 cell foamy packs I
fly. It works the same way. Just provide a constant 12.6V to the pack and then
the meter shows the current flowing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
