I am currently racing 19 Turn & Stock Foam while utilizing the CTX 3 Step Charge Method on GP3700, I am curious to see if anyone has anything better! Attached below is my current charging method that I am using, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am curious; do your batteries "temp cut" or "peak cut" more often? Also, what environment (indoors or outdoors)? If peak cut, what temp do the batteries peak at?

Arun,
I am running Indoors on Foam carpet, temp @ 80*, and I have seen the batteries temp cut more often.

Ya i also curious that you putting delta peak 10 will it be very hot for your cell?
Guo Chean,
My GP3700 cells come of warm while using the 3 step method compared to the peak method.

I just ordered one of these and wanted to know if anyone had a step setup that also utilizes the Much More Battery Heatsinks and still have the cells come off at or near 120*F. If so please post it here so that I can have a head start.
my thoughts were
3300 mah @ 8amps
3350mah @ .5amps
&
4400mah @ 6amps
Let me know only if you are using the battery heatsinks as I will be using them.
Thanks,

Shookie,
The heatsinks do not seem to require a drastically different profile, mainly just increases in charging rate or delta peak (as we discussed earlier). I use the heatsink when I am either in a poorly ventilated area during the day or just outdoors in the heat, and I'll usually increase my delta peak and charging rate a little (unless the conditions are very hot).
What kind of batteries will you be using? The profile you listed will probably get your batteries a bit hotter than the typical profiles we have been listing on this thread. If you want to try it, keep your temp cut at 48 (118 deg F).
I am usign GP 3700's and a few 3300's
I will try the suggested profiles...and keep a close eye on the cells.
I race stock adn 19T so I kind of need that punch...
I already deadshort so will that setup still be a good starting point? or will I need a little more time on the first step?
Thanks in advance.
