[RCSE] Re: Sirius Chargers Option
I still have a Sirius charger I used for many years. Sitting idle since I have been using lipos. My Sirius has been completely dependable and foolproof. Great charger. Plug it in, wait for flashing light, done. Everytime. I said goodbye to slow charging and battery failures when charging with my Sirius. Wish it charged lipos. -- mode1 mode1's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=12853 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=327568 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Re: Sirius Chargers Option
Whatever the Sirius chargers do and how they do it I'll never understand. Nor do i care to ;-) All I know is, since I've been using them exclusively, I haven't lost one single plane to battery failure (and this is probably the last 8-9 years). Knock on Gordy's head. Losing models to battery failure used to be a fairly common occurrence for me. Thanks Don and George! D __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[RCSE] Re: Sirius Chargers Option
Bill, Yes, but there is an inherent problem with that in our charging scheme. If the current happens to get changed during the charge cycle, then the ability for the computer to determine the correct shutdown timing would become compromised and false peaks would become normal. NASA determined a long time ago the proper charge currents and they are incorporated in the charging scheme for the computer we are using. Stay within the chargers limits and the batteries will perform better and longer than any other type of charge system.

Have you considered designing a Charger with the capability to "dial-up" the desired charger current? Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
