Hi guys,

I have been searching information about the new 10S model myself, and fund this on another forum here (post 68).

Quote:
When one pack is connected to the charger, initially, the pack is charged at the selected charge rate (or the maximum charge rate possible). Using ohm’s law, the maximum charge rate (Amps) is derived from the maximum power (Watts) the charger can produce without over-heating. Maximum power is approximately 300W measured at the charger input; currently the highest in the industry. FMA rates maximum power using a 15V DC input source. Maximum power depends on many factors including pack imbalance during charge, input (supply) voltage, output (charge) voltage, DC/DC converter efficiency (which varies between 80% and 90% depending on the relationship of supply voltage-to-charge voltage), ambient temperature, and internal operating temperature.
It looks like the 300W is a total BULLSHIT since it is input maw power only.
According to first user's feedback, the max they get seems to be about 170W of actual output.

I'd like to know what you guys think, but if that's true this totally sucks. I don't want to support a company that give BS advertisements like this. Plus, at this price, taking the real output power into account, it may not be so much of a good deal after all??

What do you think? The other forum link I gave is towards electric flyers people, they should know pretty well what they're doing. I'm affraid this information is serious.
