Still scratching my head as to how this thing made it through testing to production. You'd think anyone of sane mind would not ship a product that 100% over heats irrespective of ambient temps. It's just a horribly hobbeled charger.

Temperature rise is almost completely independent of ambient temperature. It can be used to predict internal temperatures in a particular environment. In a 10 Deg. C ambient (maybe even 15 Deg. C), the temperature rise of this charger is such that it would charge 12s at 10A without thermal shutdown. BTW. I also charge a 10s pack. Unfortunately, it is much the same story trying to charge 10s at 20A....

I'm actually somewhat an expert in thermal design. It's a rather straight forward process to adequately heatsink and provide the required airflow to meet a products operational requirements. Obviously the 3 lines of math that is required to predict this was not done here.
In addition at 12s 10A (500W) the charger overheats as well. Hopefully this is all just a horrible firmware bug and it will be all good in a couple of weeks.

I haven't seen a work-around for this on any of the forums yet.
Side note - In my iCharger, I can turn this limit off. Last edited by The WoodCrafter; 07-03-2012 at 09:04 PM.. |

If it is like the 1430, you can:
- set the charger to allow 25% overcharge, or - wait for a firmware update

A new update "will be released very soon". In quotes as the previous estimate was several weeks several months ago...
