If you have the cash, I would go after the duo2

Damn, for the price of the duo you can have 2 of the 610i and enough cheese left over to buy a gangsta power supply...

And I will pimp anyones stuff for them, not just my own. Fees will vary though...

Aside from >=6s and >=8A and >=120w power limit, the charger I get MUST have the ability to adjust the charge current on-the-fly (while charging). I do some pretty funky stuff sometimes, and do need this. I almost snapped up a 989 but it didn't have this feature.

I do think I have ever noticed that feature listed for any of the chargers I have looked at... I do like the 610i, and for the price you can't beat it for features, but i do not think the current can bea altered during the charge.

Any yes Brian, your are funky!

No chargers I've seen advertise this specifically, but it is possible on the EOS 7i. This feature was the only way I could charge lipos the way I need to because of the error. I start at 1C, but then as the voltage gets to ~4.0v/cell, I reduce the current on the fly to keep the voltage there until I get to 3.8A. Otherwise, I'd have to end the charge at the error, and then restart it at 3.8A. I've used it other times as well, but for more obscure reasons.

Ok, I understand. If you do decide to sell the charger let me know. I can always use a spare, and the 3.8amp max is ok with me.

610i all the way. I had a Duo and sold it. Now I got back into electric and ordered the 610i. I got a great deal on it from Maxamps along with some other stuff. After having the Duo I could not settle for anything less than a Hyperion. I love how they have a built in balancer! I had numerous different superbrains and other chargers and the hyperion is the best in my opinion.
