For the ICE charger from duratrax.... you better read the manual...

I REALLY recommend the piranha Digital charger..... used it (welll 5 of them) for about a year beofre getting 5 Duratrax ICEs

Basically you can adjust every setting you want....

There is also an AUTO MODE

just plug in your batteries and it will do the rest, including NPT (that can be adjusted from 0.01% to 2% cycles), cell autodetect, temperature monitor, voltage and current control... and adjust trickle charge so the pack can stay charged forever....

You could even set it so that it charges your pack to be ready in... let's say 5 hours.... in exactly 5 hours your pack will be ready (minus a 2 min cooldown if you are using high charge rates)

Can also discharge at 10A..... and autocycle your pack up to 10 times (nobody wants that, but it can be done)

Used them since 2003... still have one (I stopped racing, so no need to have 1000$ in chargers anymore)

To Scarecrow...

Just curious...
How does your charger decide if the pack connected is made from mini (2/3A) or from sub-C cells... best guess would be internal res... but still I have racing grade 2/3A packs that have lower res than most sub-C packs
