I own a Triton and it has been very reliable. It has no autosensing function
for Li-Po chemistry, this is as manual as the Kokam or Peak units. If it
charges a 2S pack with 3S voltage, it's because you told it to. I can
definitely recommend this charger for anyone looking to charge up to 3S
packs at up to 2 Amps. Any more than that and you'll have to look elsewhere.
It will, however, charge as many as 24 Ni-xx cells at up to 5 Amps. Pretty
excellent for only $109 !!
If you're looking for a serious charger for LiPo, Li-Ion, Ni-MH, Ni-CD, and
Lead Acid, I own and highly recommend the Orbit Microlader Pro. It's capable
of charging a 32Cell Ni-xx or 11S LiPo pack at 8Amps and has an optional PC
interface to plot your charges and discharges. I've owned mine for nearly a
year now and it is an awesome piece of hardware in design, software, and
manufacturing quality. Etienne Dorig carries them at www.icare-rc.com
When you connect a LiPo pack, you enter the charging current and connect the
battery. The charger looks at the pack and tells you how many cells it
thinks you have in series. It will not begin charging until you confirm the
number of series cells.
