Casper - No I haven’t figured it out yet but I haven’t looked at it yet either. I am heading out to Pegasus tomorrow and will have a pad next to me to write down any questions I have. I did hear back from Intigy yesterday and a scathing e-mail. I was told they would e-mail me the manual right away, nothing yet.

If you are going to use it just charge your batteries at 6 amps. Do not worry about the step charging. Step one set to like 10 mah 6 amps , step two set 20 mah at 6 amps and then set step 3 to 4200 mah a 6 amps. Set the temp cutoff to 48 deg C. Set the delta peak as low as it will go. You should be fine. If the batteries do not feel warm when they peak out turn up the delta peak on step at a time. As long as you have the temp probe on the pack with a 48 deg C stop temp you should be ok. Have you picked up any new EP packs yet?

How do I attach the temp gauge, with some tape?

Yeah I picked up 2 more EP packs yesterday and a battery case. I have that half full now with the EP packs

If you have EP packs turn up step 3 to 4400 mah. Still charge all three steps at 6 amps.
You can put the probe under the pack so the pack sits on it or if you do not glue the pack together you can wedge it between two middle cells. You can also use tape but that seems like a pain. I have to get a better look at that probe but I have some great magnets for keeping probes on the cells. Bug me next time you see me and I can hook you up.
