The ICE can't put out the voltage to do 10s1p, so I charge it as 5s2p (the same way it's configured when I run it in my Revo).
Another possibility is the Astroflight 109 charger. Soon there's supposed to be an update for it that will allow you to charge A123 cells. Right now there's a hack shown on another forum that will let you charge the cells on the AF109. Recently I also got a 109, so I will try the hack on it.
Where did you hear about a different A123 charger?

There's an update that will add native A123 capability to the Hyperion 1210i (a 12S capable, 10A max, 180 total watt charger) currently in the works as mentioned in
this thread on rcgroups.com. My current plan is to run two 5S1P packs in parallel in my buggy conversion. I can then connect them in series as 10S1P pack and charge at 10A (roughly 4C) which should let me charge the whole pack in 15 minutes. My ICE is suffering from left button failure so I don't need much of an excuse to start looking for a new charger :dft012:
