Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] 10s LiPo Charger Recommendation<br>
<br>
Hi all, I m in need of some advice/suggestions for a new LiPo charger for 10s packs.<br>
<br>
For the past several years I ve used CellPro-10S chargers with good results..<br>
However recently one of my CellPro-10s' emitted the dreaded magic smoke when I connected a 10s pack for charging. This also happened at the Nats 3 years ago, fortunately Mike M. from F3AU was there with inventory and I was able to purchase a replacement charger and press on. However, after having a second one give up the ghost a few weeks ago (and after not many charge cycles - I don t fly very much), I m interested in exploring other options.<br>
<br>
<br>
To try to add some focus to this here s my search constraints:<br>
<br>
1. It must be able to charge each cell individually through the balance connector, and give me a relative readout of each cell s condition compared to the other 9 cells.<br>
<br>
2. I m not interested in chargers that have separate balancers from the charger (e.g. like the TP1010C).<br>
<br>
3. Reliability and value are important, as is ease of use.<br>
<br>
4. Cost no more than a replacement CellPro 10XP (<$180), unless a single charger can charge two 10s packs simultaneously, then I d consider spending a bit more.<br>
<br>
5. Customer service matters, if I can buy it through F3A Unlimited, that would be a PLUS.<br>
<br>
<br>
With this in mind does anyone have a suggestion for what chargers I should<br>
consider?<br>
<br>
<br>
I don t get out much these days so it s difficult to see what everyone s<br>
using that works well. So I really do appreciate everyone s help with this.<br>
<br>
Thx, Jerry<br>
