Bruce. why would you need 3 Sirius chargers, if they are the most reliable, trouble free, etc etc etc :)) Send one over here with Gordy, when he comes next month. Klaus WeissSydney, Australia.http://www.hsl.org.au
Re: Re: [RCSE] Sirius chargers
Klaus, I do not know about Bruce, but I had to get two units because everytime I went to charge my plane or TX one of my flying buddies already had there stuff hooked up to my charger. I guess I should not complain too much though since I used to do the same thing to my brother before I purchased my first charger from George. I will probably have to get another one this season since a couple of times I have gone to charge and had planes and TX's already hooked to both of my chargers. George's chargers are top of the line stuff and damn near idiot proof. Hell if I can use them I guess they are idiot proof.

Re: [RCSE] Sirius Chargers?
Howard Mark wrote: I have a Sirius, TRC, Hobbico, and a FMA super nova. The FMA is the newest, and seems to be the most versatile. It is very configurable - plugplay or custom cook. Costs about $130. It only does one pack at a time, however --- but it will handle motor packs as well as rec/trans packs. I personally find the FMA Supernova (sold under a few names, often for less) best suited to field fast charging of motor packs. It can fast charge 1600 mAh packs in about 20 minutes at the 3C rate (for bigger packs try a Novak Millennium). I don't like it's 500 mA discharge rate for cycling receiver packs. This just seems a bit high to me, as I like to discharge at roughly the same rate as actual use (250 mA is typical for me). The battery experts say the high rate is not a problem for small packs, though it may cause the reported capacity to be a little lower than when in actual use. All in all though, the FMA Supernova it a great product. -- Andrew E. Mileski RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [RCSE] Sirius charger with 5 cell pack
Assuming you've got the Sirius Charge Pro, then yes. The Rx side does 3 to 6 cells, and the Tx side 4 to 8, so both outputs will do 5 cells properly. Actually, as far as I can tell all their chargers will do 5 cell packs. You can check out the spec's at their website: http://www.teleport.com/~sirius/ FWIW I run 5 cell packs in my F3B models and can confirm that the Sirius Charge Pro works just fine on them. It's now the only charger I use on my RC batteries.

Re: [RCSE] Sirius v nimh
At 04:30 PM 4/20/00 , you wrote: Would the standard Sirius charger work well for charging a 7 cell 650mah nimh or similar park flier size battery? I gather it's a question of sensitivity to the delta peak, and that my CG 325 is too big and too crude for this battery. Sirius Pro and Sirius 100 are not really delta-peak chargers. They stop right at the peak, not past it. I conclude this from watching the NiCd pack voltage after each current burp at the end of the charge. So the weak post-peak voltage drop of NiMH should not be an issue. The Sirius chargers don't even look for the drop. The Sirius charger that I have uses the Galaxy Power charger chip which was designed to do NiMH as well as NiCd. It uses voltage slope termination and cuts off when the voltage slope (not the voltage) peaks. Since voltage slope stops at about 80-90% of full capacity, the chip then goes into a times "top-off" mode. The method is great for NiCd and NiMH that are uses at low current, like receivers and transmitters.
