Wich charger???

I look for an Hyperion charger but can't decided between the EOS 1210i or the EOS 0610i.
I have a flightpower pack and a V-balancer, so the integrated balancer is not necessary, and i plan to use A123 pack in near future.

So i think that the 1210i will be right for me, but is the 0610i is better?

Thank you!

Pssssssssssst

well.. if you don't plan on using more than 6S, then get the HYPERION EOS0610I 250W 6S ... but if using more than 6S Get the 1210i

cuz the 610i could charge faster....

cuz the 610i could charge faster

Could you tell me why please?????

But the 1210 can charge up to two 6s packs at once...

the 610i is able to output 250 Watts..
where as the 1210 is able to output 180 Watts, and to charge two packs at one time, you'll need the 2nd LBA10..... if you charge two 6S packs with the 1210i, it would be 90 Watts per balancer/channel...

Question? I already have a Superbrain 989 with a 10amp power supply, but I need a lipo balancer to go with it. What can you guys recommend? Right now I have a pair of 7.4v 10,000mha lipos and a pair of 11v 10,000mha lipos from maxxamps, but will probably have ones even bigger later on down the road I just need a balancer that will do a good job so I don't end up frying my investment.

I personally love my 1210. It’s great. I might be wrong so some one correct me if I am. The 1210 has more options in the long run. If you were charging the same battery on both the 1210 or the 610, by far the 610 would charge faster. The built in balancer is a good feature. The there are more options with the 1210 in the long run. I didn't think the time difference mattered as much as the options mattered. I also bought the LBA10 balancer. Great item too. I know I read somewhere here on the forums that there is another balancer same circuits, different stickers that had more connectors supplied with it. I can't find the name of it though. same price but more connectors.

Do you have links that you can show where to purchase these balancers? What on line companies sell them? What brand name are they under? Thanks Guys.

They are all made by Hyperion. Just google it for all the sellers an RC nut could want.

allerc.com or unitedhobbies.com

the 1210i is awesome, and I do have one.. but I'd rather have two 610i networked together to have 500 Watts of charging power... :) This is good for when you have high voltage/high capacity Lipos and want to charge @ 2C.... 1210i is able to charge 12S @ 4Amps.... or (2) 6S @ 2 Amps Each... 610i could charge a 6S @ 11 Amps... so you could easily charge a 6S1P 5000mAh in a little more than half an hour(that is if your lipo is able to charge @ 2C)

From what I've read (and I just bought one), the Hyperion LBA10 is a great balancer. Just make sure to buy the right cables (2S, 3S, etc).

I have both and prefer the 610i. I dont plan on going over 6s to that really doesn't matter to me. I really just prefer the balancer built in and now I can charge my packs at a higher rate if I want.

Hyperion claim that we can charge li-po at 2C rate, but is this safe?????
I'am not certain that i'll risk to charge li-po at 2C

I charge my lipos at 2C with the 1210... seems to be fine.. but maybe shortens the life of it?..
