<DIV>Dave,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let us know how that works.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would think that charging at 2C vs 1C is NOT going to be twice as
fast, since once you get into the voltage-limited part of the cycle, the
current starts to drop off regardless. What I have seen is
that packs with the lowest internal resistance charge must faster
because the period spent during the constant-voltage phase is much less.
I have some Li-Ion receiver packs in a giant-scale plane that take
forever compared to Lipos because of this fact.</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>The benefit of faster charging really decreases
once you get to 3C...there<BR>is still the ramp up/down time, but as I

pack to hit 100 cycles at 5C charging.
