Your charge times, do they include the CV portion of the charge, or just the CC part?

333 watts

You can adjust how the Duo splits the power 180 is on a 50/50 split.

Didn't know you could partition the power on a DUO, is it just the Net3s or can any of them do that? How far will it let you go - the 333watts you mention is about 90/10 already, so I guess it will almost let you channel 100%to one side?

Nice feature.

Nice feature.

You can go to 10/90. I think the older ones will let you I do not remember.

This feature is just one more reason why Hyperion chargers are the best out there.

I agree the Hyperions are generally good chargers, but the documentation is a little weak at times. The 606 I have didn’t come with any manual, or instructions to download even.

Despite that I have looked at the Duo as we are considering E 1/8 scales. In several places on their site and the manual it says that each port is limited to 180w, no indication of an ability to go above that even for one at a time that I can see. Which could be an attractive feature, despite largely defeating the dual charger aspect.

For what little it’s worth, 333 watts would only cover the 3.7v nominal cell voltage, 378 is required to maintain the 15 amps up to the full voltage of 4.2 per cell for a 6s.

Thanks for the info. :)

I agree the paperwork could be better. The website is where I go for paperwork. I am not worried another a few watts I charge at 2C. Which is good at 180 per side.
