Another example, when you configure a LiXX pack with cell count > 8S, it knows you have to "split" the pack to charge it, so it will prompt you to see if you want to parallel charge it (2 batts on a single charger) or, if you have another charger available, you canchoose to split it across 2 chargers and all the setup and starting happens to both chargers at once. Lot's of cool software features we can add with the BUMP Controller being able to control 4 chargers at once ![]() |

I really like this BUMP concept, might get it one day to make charging even more simple.
Just have a few questions and suggestions: What physical size will the separate tags be? Can the BD take into acount the temperature when measuring IR, especially when comparing cycles? Will they be able to store maximum recommended charge rate? It would be great if either before or after bumping the packs I could set how long I want charging to take, the BD would then calculate whether it can do it with the available chargers and PSU and if possible, start charging. another great method would be setting the more or less exact time when the charge must be finished; the desired charging rate and the charging will be delayed by the necessary amount. TIA, Daniel |

Oh, my! This is taking the UI to the next level for sure. Congratulations to FMA and the Beta Team.
I can't think of an intelligent question, but seriously await the announcement of its availability, especially if this technology is incorporated into FMA's next generation of battery charter. |

We cannot measure pack temperature (PowerLabs do not have a temp sensor port). We could certainly add an option to collect a temp from the user and store that along with the charge graph/history, if that would be useful. So you could IR scan and punch in the temp at the beginning of charge, then all of that would be avail in the mobile app for later review. Quote:
The BC offers 3 different charge operations - Accurate, Normal, and Fast. You can specify your preferred charge C rate for each of those and it gets stored in the tag. Everytime you bump the battery it uses your preferred settings from the tag, so all you ever need to do is select Accurate/Normal/Fast and press Go. |

Thanks, that will fit nicely.

![]() The timed charging feature would appeal mostly to stock racers who try to get every tiniest bit of performance imporvement possible and usually charge at 40Amps and want to finish exactly before start so their packs will have lowered IR from the heat of charging. |

Note that we also allow users to tweak the charge term voltage slightly above the manufacturer max rating (for example, 4.22 instead of 4.20) ... to allow those terrestrial racers to get a little extra punch out of the gates. This value is also stored in the BumpTag so it's something they only need to do once. Of course you can also tweak this value down (say 4.10 instead of 4.20) to get longer battery life. |

Yes I want it, already purchased a tablet to install in my charger case as was demonstrated at IRCHA with the soon to come CCS software that will integrate using blue tooth. So yes I want it, will do it right, but I can be patient to make sure it does all the things I need. Here is my charger,
