I got the TP1010C charger today, and the TP210V balancer, and the Dynamite 12V/10A power supply.

This charger is wicked! I love it! It's big too lol.

I wish that the power supply fan was auto though, it's always running and it kind of bothers me.

I got a little adventurous again, here's the losi li-po charger, it comes apart easy and there's pretty much no way to break the charger taking it apart:

If you connect up the cap backwards, I'd guess it would either do nothing, or go pop.

As for the fan issue- I'd assume you could connect an on/off switch along its negative power lead, and fix the switch into the casing, or put it on a short extension and have it dangle out of the case, so as not to void any warrenty (remove it before sending it in).

i think the switch is a good idea, of course that is counting on the power supply not breaking, it came with a loose bolt inside that I had to take out, I would probably turn the fan on during charging and off during discharge and while it's not charging anything

are you talking the fan on the charger or the PS? The Charger you can have on always or when needed. You do this by holding down the SEL-MOD button and changing the setting.

If its the PS your talking about, then i have no clue. LOL

the power supply, it's fan is always on

I love the chargers fan, on auto it only turns on when discharging at 1 amp or more, and idk about charging cuz my balance connectors don't fit, I'm waiting on this: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/9755

When the power supply isnt in use, cant you just turn it off at the wall socket?

yep, but I don't think that it needs the fan when I'm discharging a battery, or when the chargers are just sitting there, I want some kind of heat sensing unit to turn the fan on and off, but i know that that would just be like $20 when a switch is something like $0.50

well, I hooked up the fan to a switch, and I left the fan off for about 15 minutes while the charger was hooked up to it but not charging anything, and when I came back it was actually warm, right now I'm testing it to see if it gets warm with no fan and no charger, but it looks nice, here's some pics:

I just checked it after 15 minutes and no charger and no other kind of load, but it still got warm on the bottom, I guess I should have taken the fan out and tested it before I put a switch in, it still looks cool though.

Warm isnt so bad, but hot is. If you had a little pot (no, not that kind), you could adjust the speed of the fan, so it only blows gently and quietly when the power supply isnt in use, but turn it up to full power when it is.

what exactly is a pot? and I'm guessing that by little you mean small in size and not amount?

do you have a link?

In this case(meaning situation), I think warm could possibly be slightly bad, because the bottom of the unit inside is 1/4" away from the bottom of the case, and the bottom of the case has air wholes in it.
