I told him about the Apogee and MaxAmps warning and he said he would look into that. Seems someone got their wires crossed somewhere! That and maybe the tendency for some idiot to spout some nonsense on a forum somewhere and it becomes "fact".
So, straight from the horse's mouth!

As far as the cc/cv charge goes both of my 989s have always charged correctly, and never gone over 4.2v per cell. I do charge thru a lba 10 or v balancer and those have never interrupted the chrge due to over voltage. I have a feeling an "internet expert" is to blame for this... or maybe a battery retailer (maxamps) trying to sell their own chargers to people who know no better...
