Losi Lithium Charge Converter - 11.23.2007, 03:08 AM

I'm wondering if this would be a good supplement to my ICE charger. Not a whole lot of info on Losi's site. It would be nice to put my idle peak charger to work as opposed to babysitting 3-4 separate charge cycles after a day of racing.

The only bad thing I can think of is that this converter only allows you to perform the constant-current part of the charge, so you'd be missing the constant-voltage part. The CV stage can add up to between 5-10% of the charge depending on battery type (A123 vs lipo).

Why does it still need a charger to opperate? Does the charger still detect the peak or something, or is it simply a power source? I would like a way to charge more than 3s A123, but the only other chargers I own are a Twin Peak and a Piranha Digital Peak charger, so I couldn't charge them very fast anyway. Could you just use a power supply with the new Losi adapter, or does it not actually terminate the charge of the Lipo/ion when it is done?

Thanx,
Brijar!!!

Okay - I know enough not to mess with a mod. It was all meant in good fun. If you recall you were the one who originally started by calling me an asskisser

The use of your avatar was a response in good fun... lesson learned.
