Really, I didn't know that. That's cool.
After just getting myself a Cell Master, I couldn't resist and went out to buy the Power Master and the Zero-V discharger too.
Great products! Now I'm thinking about the battery heat sink.
most totally agree with you. You are an expert of CM.

The higher the amp rate, the more power. It is safer to charge at a higher amp rate in the beginning, as the battery will not overheat. Most CTX profiles also have a very low amp rate in the second phase, such as .2 amps. This acts as a slight "cool down" period to prepare the battery for peaking. When CTX enters the third phase, the same rules then apply...higher amp rate will equal more power. When you combine high and low amp rates in a CTX profile, you are able to achieve superior power and run-time.
short answer: the higher amp rate in the last step will give you more punch .

something is wrong with my buddy's cell master last sunday... when he connected the charging leads to the his gp3300, the voltage reading on the cell master was 0.458V and when he tried to charge it, it simply says voltagle too low... but when i connected it to mine it reads fine at about 8.4V and could charge fine...
his cell master was bought about 2 months ago, then unused for about a month till last sunday... looks like a repair job for the factory?

Pls check the voltage reading wire connection.(Thin wires)
If there found poor connection, resolder it.
If above does not give any help,
Let me know where he bought it.. so that I can ask service to our distributor.
Have a nice weekend! Korea is rainy season.

well actually he has already brought it back to where he got it (RaceCraft Infinity, Singapore) and the charger has been sent out by the shop owner for repair... thanks for the tip though, if it happens to mine then i will try it
Korea rainy season now?? Weather hasn't been good here too... also Auyong was just asking me if wanna go for the Xray Challenge Seoul next week... maybe next month perhaps, broke as it is for July
