Is that adapter compatible with the 10s? The website says it is for the new Multi4 charger and not compatible with the cellpro 4s.<BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I also have two Cell Pro 10s chargers, though I got them after last season and have not used them too much. I really like the fact that they brings cells up to peak individually. With my TP1010, which I’ve used without problem for 3 years, it’s a bit of a hassle to get perfect balance because if one cell is low the charger takes all other cells to capacity then drains all cells to match the low one(s). Normally this isn’t that big of a deal, but at times it can take hours to slowly discharge all cells down to the one that’s low (and I’m not talking about significant delta). Then if you want to be at peak you have to charge again. </SPAN></P>

The Cell Pro’s don’t discharge so I’ve kept my TP1010’s so I can discharge (though they are WAY slow at this).</SPAN></P>
