EEK, i would rather spend $80 on the A123 charger, it will charge your pack in 15 minutes. Of course it only charges up to 3 cell at a time, you also need a balancer cable.

IMO, $80 is a rip off for the A123 charger. I can get an Astroflight 109 for $90, and that will charge 10s A123 cells. Then, I can mod the 109 to charge to 3.6v/cell AND do the CV phase, or I could charge 10s A123 as 9s Lipo (with a slight overcharge). Supposedly Astroflight is working on a chip that will allow for the charging of A123 packs.
Otherwise, the CV phase shouldn't be long with these batteries, considering that when the voltage reaches about 3.65v the cell is almost completely charged (indicated by how the cell will cause the voltage to skyrocket when a CC charge is going on).
