Unless they have updated them, the wide voltage range is something that is only in the newer units. The 1210 manual still say it only runs on 11-15v and they would have advertised it if it took more. That is sort of a feature. The 1210 is actually an older charger than the 0610i.

u got me thinking now man, well anyways i think i`ll take my chances its too good a charger not to buy coz of a power supply :) and one more thing all the website that sell these 1210is say that they are A123 capable and the manual doesnt state that, so maybe the Voltage range got updated when this feature was updated.

It sounds like you did make up your mind and I absolutely love my 1210i but just don't get your hopes up on the power supply being that wide range. Mine is the new A123 version and print on the case as 11-15. Get it though it is an awesome charger, it will do every chemistry on the market.

if you dont need the dual outputs or care about the digital display you could get this model and save a little $$$$. http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/158301.asp

I have the single and dual output of the ripmax PS's. I have charged two 3s 8000mah lipo at the same time at 8 amps at the same time and I do not know how much it worked the PS, but it never got much over warm

I also find that one of my PS does not like the Hyperion 120i (w/a123 support). It appears that the Hyperion has a large surge at powerup. Only way I can get that supply to work is to Power up supply then plug in Hyperion. If I plug in Hyperion before powersupply is up and running, the fan will just do a half rotation and shut down. (That PS is rated for 15 AMPS on 12V)

I have other cheap units that are rated to 10 amps, They work Just fine with the Hyperion. Of course they limit my charger, which is not a issue as most of my packs are 3s.

The only cells that I have that push my charger are my A123 packs which I am now charging at ~15 AMPs :) 3S pack. (zip charging with DB-terminator)

Also if you notice the PC supply voltage sagging onthe 12 Volt's try putting more of a load on the 5V lines. It helps. I find a 3amp load on the 5Volt line really helps keep the 12volts nice and stable.

Last but not least. If your 12volt wires are getting warm you should be double or tripling them up. I twist 2-3 black together, and 2-3 yellow together. My wires never get warm. If yours are still getting warm... use 4-5 wires.
