Is this currenly the leader in high power intergrted charger?

Cand this charger charge 6S 5000+ Mah lipos @ 2C or better???

That's all I want to know please.
I'm going cross eyed here trying do find ad filter through tons of info on this site.
PLEASE, I want to buy somethign, no more reading

Depends on what is meant by 'leader'. The Hyperion 0720i has higher current capability, but lower total wattage output capability.

Yes. It'll do 10 amps at 6S (as will its little brother, the 106B+). Recommended input voltage is >13.5V to extract maximum performance with higher (6S+) cell counts.

Integrated Balance Chargers
===========================
 These offer simplicity and convenience with the balancer and charger combined
 in the same case. Simpler, more convenient, take up less bench space and
 easier to transport.

Otherwise, +1 to what Mark said above. If you have lots of cash you could consider the Robbe PowerPeak Eternity (14S, 315W/20A) which sneaks ahead of both the iC1010B+ and the 0720i and has even more features.

Don't forget to budget for an appropriate power supply if you want to use the full rated output power.

Minor point but Hyp. 720i Net is 80 watts / 10A max. discharge rate not 50 watts.

I am pretty sure FMA's CellPro 10s can put out more then 200w... The test I done with 6s 5000mAh pack, the charge can pump more then 10A (about 10.5A) at 25v (6s). That would be about 250w ~ 262.5w.

Thanks, I have corrected that typo.

Thank you for your observations. FMA specify it as a "300W input" device but yours is the first user report where someone got more than about 200W output. IIRC in Charles' (everydayflier) rigorous testing he never exceeded 200W. I can believe that the charger output 10A early in the CC phase where the applied voltage was lower than the nominal final voltage (eg 3.3V/cell => 10.5 x 6 x 3.3 = 208W) but I bet the current dropped off as the voltage rose. Until we see instrumented charge plots from users demonstrating more than 200W sustained output I will let it stand at that value.

I will see if I can take picture of the charger while it's charging...

If it makes any difference, I was using 15.1v input. Don't quote me on this, but I think I remember CellPro was pulling almost 24A from my P/S. So, that would make it 360W input.

OK, here it is. Since I don't have the creditability of "Charles", I better backup my statement with some proof... Accurate Charge test was done on Outrage pack that is 6s 5000mAh. Fast charge test was done on those cheap ThunderPower v2 Extreme that is also 6s 5000mAh.

Here is the Accurate Charge on Outrage. Notice the total output approchs 250w.



Here is the Fast Charge with TP pack, it peak at about 255w.




If any one wants the raw data file from CellPro 10s, just let me know.

Also, here are the screen capture from Fast charge cycle.

Thank you for the hard data asm, 250W it is

FYI - some hard data on the iC1010B+ charging 8S A123 at 10A (280W output): http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...postcount=2669
