Link to new firmware is also on the charger support page -

Knew it was coming, been on RCGRoups for a while as a beta version. I'm very surprised to see a new ver for my older 0610iNet chargers! The continued support by Hyperion is awesome!



Thanks for the heads up. Will get it downloaded and installed today!

I've been playing with the beta with my EOS0720i NET3 for a few weeks now.

It is great. The one thing that would be nice to have at this point is logging internally on the charger for when you don't have it connected to a PC, so that I can have a full history of my packs including when charged at the track.

Even so, the control suite makes battery management incredibly easy.

It's good to have a healthy fear of firmware updates, but it was actually very simple and painless.

Just follow the guide that comes with the firmware, and you'll do just fine.

I recommend using a fully-charged 12V source for the charger while you do the firmware update, just in case. I did mine using my notebook, so everything was running on battery power and there was no reliance on AC.

The power company is almost always reliable around here but it would be just my luck for them to have a glitch while I'm flashing my nearly new $150 charger.

No. I used a 12V battery for the 720. I flashed it using a laptop, running on battery power. This way you don't have to worry about power failing at all.

It is a little intimidating reading Hyperion's warnings, but I've upgraded both of my 0610i several times thru the various firmware upgrades and never had any probs. The how-tos are clear and well written and if you follow them, you shouldn't have any prob. I do mine using a laptop also.

I am a little disappointed that the 0610iNet and orig Duos will not run the new EOS Control Suite, but I'm surprised they are still updating these older chargers anyway.
