Dave, I have no idea. Even though I have used a lot of different chargers (and sell quite a few), I have only twice used a Sirius and did not like it. It was a bit fidigity, even though it looked very simple. I use the Multiplex pico ($35) charger for 90% of my charging needs. I am in the process of testing the Titan from Hobbico, since it will do lithium batteries as well as the nicad and nimh batteries. A nicad battery is a nicad battery, but the Sirius chip may not be proberly programmed for the 1100 packs. Are your 1500's nimh? I use 1800 and 2000 nimh packs in my Stylus. Can do 4 to 6 hours of thermal flights without worry (remember the 1 to 1.5 hours the original Vision and Stylus packs would do?). I am going to test out a custom lithium pack to use for my 8 hour flight. Looks like I might have a rechargeable pack that will do 14 hours straight. We need an electronics and battery expert (or Sirius engineer) to answer your question though.
