Really like this charger, revoelectrix 8

[oscarel]

Things I have found that I am do not like or have not figured out how to do(learning curve).
1. Is there a way to parallel charge without hooking up for balancing?
2. The 2s hyperion plugs don't work with the balancer. This is because the 2s plugs on the hyperion are 4s tap plugs, I have to get adapters. Not really the fault of the charger.
3. I noticed tonight that if I pick to charge "3c" to let the charger decide on the amperage, it is very conservative. If I manually put in the amps then away it goes and charges fast.

Hey Jim, I'm going into my 3rd year with the PL8 and love it. I also have the PL6 and it's just as good. For lipos, 1s to 2s unbalanced is it. And for the Hyperion taps, will this work? http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=168074

Here's my setup, I can use both at full power. I have 2 sets of 25v 69amp PS's underneath! Good part, they were only $20 shipped a set.

So correct me if I am wrong...
1. You are using parallel charging board and your charger Node is set to XH/EH in charger menu?
2. Lets say I would like to charge 4 x 2S lipos using the original P charging board each at 5 amp, I would set the total amp charge at 20Amp?
Thanks
Robert

1. Yes.
2. Yes, you set the total amp at 20amp and then specfiy "4P" for the number of packs. You will then see it show you are charging at 5amps per pack for a total of 20amps..

Nice set up Oscar. From the looks of it, this set up has been "field tested" many times!! Thanks for the link on the taps, I may give that a try. The bummer is I orderd 8 tap converters that take it from a 4s to a two 2s tap. When they arrived, I figured out that only one out of eight was wired correctly!! Wasted money and time... Will try and get it sent back and get a refund.

Hey, how do those tap connectors work? Can you just pull it out and push it in to the next slot or is there some sort of tool required??

Push in with a small flathead screwdriver in the open slit where you can see the metal. It should then pull right out. Once out you'll see the little catch on the wire, make sure to bend it back up a little before reinserting.

So I had to test it out myself!
Both, the DPS-1200 power supply, 24 volt, 1800 watts and PL8 v.2 charger.
I also have P charging board from Revolectrix and I tell you this set up ROCKS!!!!
Together with PC software and all the info ON Screen you never have to touch the charger....
So many wicked options and info it is not funny....! Lipos are perfectly balanced!
Love it and this unit, from all chargers I was able to have and use it since I got in to this sickness, this one is THE BEST by fare!!!
Also, I am very pleased to see my work in place. Power supply spins this charger around with no struggle at all. It is like there is no power supply, cant even hear it...
Love the set up and highly recommending the duo with 24 volt DPS-1200.....

PS
electric, thank you for your business and respond. Now I know why you are happy to have both of them working perfectly together

Love my PL6 it's running on a 47amp 24v supply. I squeezed in a 12v supply as well for accessories.
