Hypersonic (a123) charger question - 07.21.2008, 11:53 PM
Was wondering if the hypersonic charger can handle a 3s2p pack? I know that a123 sell 1p packs in 2s and 3s, and they sell a 2s2p pack. I am guessing that it would take 30 mins to charge a 2p pack, as it takes about 15 to charge a 1p pack.

Also, what kind of runtime could I expect from a rustler with a 5000kv motor running a 3s1p a123 pack? Thruck would be geared for mind 40 mph range.

A123 systems sell two different models of hypersonic charger:

http://www.a123racing.com/html/soniccharge.html

The bigger one will do 2-3 "hypersonic packs only", whatever thats ment to mean. I would guess though that the charge current may simply be reduced if you plugged in a 2p pack, rather than a 1p pack, same as with any other charger, depends on its output power and the power supply...

Contact troy at BPP - I believe even the 5i's can be flashed.

My 5i's have a123 mode - He was going to flash my 5i ac/dc but ended up sending me a 6i ac/dc instead...

Either that or his cordless keyboard batteries are dying. But knowing him, porn is the most likely cause...

Why wouldn't it? It should work on voltage feedback... Try it and let us know what happens...

PS read the hyperion comment

Yeah, I will give troy a buzz. I am guessing that he would have to have them back to flash them?

I will give the hypersonic charger a try. Who wants to sell me 10 a123 cells? For 50 bucks

No honor among theives, huh...

I will also provide the seller of the a123s with info that can be used to blackmail BrianG and Arkt1c... I am also negotiating a deal with lutach for some pics of him in womens clothing, they can be included too if necessary!

Easily make the difference back daily with this info.
