Brushless Revo + A123 and ICE - 06.11.2007, 04:22 PM

OK, I know there have been a ton of questions regarding A123 cells and how best to charge them... Not wanting to lose the CC\CV charging ability (and to get a full charge vs just 90%) I've been considering modifying my original pack plans and still using my ICE.

Originally I was going to run dual 6S1P packs for a cumulative 19.8 volts at 4600 mah, my problem, the ICE won't charge 6S or A123s for that matter...

My solution and the lead in to my crazy question: I've modified my pack design to dual 3S2P packs since the ICE can do 3S :-) MY question, 3S works out to 9.9 volts aprox, can I simply set my ICE to 2S (Li-Po) and my charge limit to 110%? I realize voltage and amperage aren't the same thing, hence the "crazy question"...

I know that as the A123s approach 3.65 volts that they "stop" accepting a charge, wouldn't the 10% "overcharge" allow the packs to climb up to their full capacity, or there abouts?

And if not with the ICE I guess I'm going to have to resolve myelf to getting an A123 Sonic charger or two..., though that may not be all bad. I like the Dapter+ and the DualDapter+, the only downside and I don't know that it is, I lose the CV and can't ever get a fully charged pack... Can I use the Dapter+ to get my 90% charge and simply hit the packs again for another 10 minutes to top them off?

Thoughts??

Thanks!!
