Hyperion EOS 0610i Duo 6S, 10A, 180W max per port dual output balancing charger. The EOS 0610i Duo is an extremely powerful, versatile, easy-to-use charger with special features for speed charging lithium packs up to 6S (12S in Duo Mode!). Super high charge rates are possible even with the largest 6S packs, with up to 8A @ 22.2V (6S) or even up to 8A @ 44.4V (12S) when run in Duo mode! Integrated LBA10+ balancer has 300mA balance power per cell. Terminal Capacity Selection, PS Load Control, PC Dataport, and User-Upgradeable firmware round out this fantastic package. Output Charge Cord/Connector set and Hyperion Balance Multi-Adapter for 2S to 6S packs are included.

This charger is effectively two 180W capable chargers in one unit. Both chargers can be run independently from each other, so you can charge two completely different battery packs at the same time!

[Eyekandyboats]

[sjslhill]

Nice charger!

[Steven Vaccaro]

The dual charge is a huge feature for lots of us! I cant wait to test one out.

[Eyekandyboats]

one thing i was never sure on. . . . how do i charge in series with only one balancer?

[Steven Vaccaro]

Once I have them in I will give it a try.

Kinda pricy though.......you can buy 2 AC/DC chargers for the price of this one.

I was just thinking the same thing. In my case I have an O606I already. Just add another one and I'm good. I gota admitt I prolly would have bought this had it been avalable. I will need another 606 with the number of packs I have now.

Think about it for a minute though.... You are getting TWO BIG chargers... TWO LBA10 balancers... and the adapters.. Plus these are AC/DC chargers...

At $50.00 each for the balancers... That brings the price of the TWO chargers down to $169.95... That doesn't seem to bad to me... AND, you only need to plug in ONE charger instead of two...

Hmmmm... I just convinced myself... I'm going to get TWO of them!!

gd choice and well logically said ~ lol

[Eyekandyboats]

yes but like i said before. people running 2p, will want a 8S or a 4S charger to charge there 4s2p or 2s2p packs. . . If this charge can not charge 2s2p(4s1p when charging with two sperate packs) then what the point. . . one charger is as good as a 51 ACDC with two LBA's.
on the other hand if it can!! THE AWESOME

Taylor... I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here... could you clarify, because it sounds like you are under the impression that you can't charge 4S2P or 8S packs with this charger???

This Hyperion unit can charge 1~6 cells Li-Poly, Li-Ion or A123 (LiFePO4) Per Port , so up to 6S2P on one charger... That's pretty sweet... and more than most of us need... I usually have 4-chargers going on a race weekend... One 1210i, and three ICE chargers, and I've been charging my 2S2P packs while still in parallel without using the balancers during the day... then rebalance in the evening... so far so good, but not the best way to go...

I'm thinking of getting two of these chargers and keeping the 1210i for anything over 6S... If you think about it... Even most of our up to 12S packs are made up of two packs in series... so one could do up to 12S1P with a single 610i-Duo... That's pretty sweet...

You get balancers with what I had in mind....

HP-EOS616I Integrated (built-in) AC/ DC Hyperion LBA balancer 1~6 cell Li-Poly, Li-Ion or A123 charger / balancer 1~14 cell NiCad / NiMH 6S, 6A, 50 watts 10 User-definable Memory Positions Includes 2S~6S balancer multi adapter.

The Duo is not AC/DC....it is good though, not saying that.

Steve... You are right... It's listed incorrectly on the site I was looking at...

I'm still going to get one.... I'd rather carry and plug in one thing than two...
