Orion lipos and?
 
I see on orions site it says dont use mrc's brand charger to charge there lipos..

I am going to buy some carbon packs for my TC as I LOVED them in my car, they work so awsome


But is it ok to use my 989 to charge there lipos?

Apogee says the same thing about there packs - their warranty doesn't cover packs charged with superbrain chargers.

How are they going to know if I used a superbrain though?

Mailman 10.06.2007 11:59 PM

They say they can tell. Check their warranty on their site.

Looks to me like that only applies during the first 30 days (in which they replace 100%). After the first 30 days, it looks to me like they'll replace any pack for any reason at 35% discount (ie., you'll pay $65bucks for a $100 pack)

DId I screw up by ordering a new Superbrain 989? I havent actually recieved it yet, but now I'm concerned.

I don't think you screwed up. I absolutely love my 989, and it works flawlessly charging every battery I have... 1 lipo pack, and about 3 or 4 NiMH packs. I used to have more packs, but I sold some, but they still charged fine when I did sell them.

I am pretty sure it for the life of the pack. They say that the Superbrains lipo cutoff isn't set up right. There must be something to it if Apogee and Orion both say the same thing.

I'm not sure how they can stand behind that when they say that even if you intentionally damage a pack, they will give you the 35% discount on a new one (basically selling it to you at their cost, most likely).

BlackedOutREVO 10.07.2007 03:36 PM

I honestly dont think they can look at the pack and go, ohh he used a MRC 989, so we wont warranty the pack... I think they just say that so more people dont....

In any ways though, it is kokam lipos, do they have the same thing also?
