Highflier, that really does make me nervous when I hear you using the 12v battery 'mod' as a charger, I have seen it be done, but I prefer some decent electronics.

Brian, the A123's don't dip at all, but instead anything over 3.8v/cell, the voltage takes off like a sky rocket. At that point will most likely be very damaged if allowed to go over 4.0v/cell. But I hear 4.0v/cell is actually doable with these things.

If you want to use JUST CC, then you could use 3.8v/cell and use roughly 10 amps or more per 1p configuration, and then terminate charge once voltage is reached... I believe this will get you 96% SOC.
