I've been using two Cellpro 10S with the FMA DC supply's for a few
years. They've been reliable and I use them for 10S pairs on down to
2S pairs in foamy's. I've have blown the fuse, which happens when
I've crossed the balanced leads and the main power leads between the
two packs. I've had a PL8 for about a year , but didn't like all the
wires and balance boards needed to parallel charge. I just got FMA's
new MPA parallel charge board and it looks promising. I like the how
everything is fused, and only one set of wires to the PL8 for 6
packs.<br>
Have a good day.<br>

Since I configure my packs as 10s to save weight it limited my
choices. At the time the 10s was a good value alternative to
TP1010. Similiar output, lower price, compact and more durable.
My pair have served me pretty well but now would like to charge
at higher rates.<br>
<br>
Was curious about the i3010 but had heard of some failures.
Picked up a 10xp and it is basically a 10s with multi chemistry,
discharge and 15A output if fed properly. So far I like it alot
but haven't charged anything bigger than a 4s.<br>

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Why Cellpro 10S/10XP?<br>
<br>
So I'll preface this by saying I was flying large + hv packs
before I was flying pattern, so my charging gear preceded my
pattern involvement and therefore I seem to be the odd man out
when it comes to my charging gear -- I'm running an iCharger
3010 charger (1000W max charge power, up to 30Amps, 10S) for
my larger packs, and an iCharger 208b (350w max, 8S, 20 amps)
off a meanwell SE-1000-24 1000watt/24volt power supply. I'm
thinking about upgrading the 208b to something capable of
handling a second 10s pack for charging two simultaneously.
Another 3010 is an obvious choice for me, but I'm wondering
why everyone in the pattern community likes the CellPro 10S
(can't handle 24 volts, but the XP can) so much, specs don't
tell the whole story or the 3010 would be an obvious winner...

</div>
<div>So, why do y'all like the CellPro? Anyone using
something other than the Cellpro or the iCharger to do 10S?
what drove your choice?</div>
