Glad to hear of this, as I have two and will not give them up for anything else. Amazing, I still have people who have never seen them work and are really surprised on what the charger will do and what information that it will give you on your batteries. Glad to also see that I can upgrade to Lipo, which I probably will do this next summer.

Hi just wondering how does the Protrak compare to the Spintec ICC?


edit i been reading this thread, is it right that the protrack charges the whole pack (i.e a normal serial charger) and ONLY monitors each cell. so its not an ICC?

Correct.

In peak detect it stops charge @ whatever millivolts the user has set for the pack and in temp detect it stops @ the 1st cell to reach whatever temp cut-off the user has set. But all the other chargers out there on the market do the same.

In discharge mode with the remote leads on the cells it will stop the discharge for the 1st cell to reach 0.5v nomatter what cut-off voltage is selected. The ICC is able to carry on it's discharge till all cells are empty.

1st pic is 3700's on Pro-Trak.
2nd pic is same pic finished off on the ICC.

Default Pro Trak & TrakPower V-Balance module for LIpos's

I tried to use the TrakPower V balance module with my ProTrak but received an error message when I tried to charge.

Has anyone else had a similar problem and is there a way round it or will I need a different charger?

The ProTrak charges fine without the V Balance module in line

Post a picture if you can of the error message

I'll try my V Balance on my Pro-Trak / LiPo cells and see if I get the same message

It's sorted now. I was not placing the V-Balancer into Link mode

Setting in the calibration table 42 to 1 can increase the charge current to 15A. But for this you need to check the following

1. The lifetime of the charge FET will be shorter than at 12A
2. The 20A version of PRO-TRAK has poor heat sink cooling capability. So you may need external fan cooling
3. When PRO-TRAK is shipped, it is adjusted for 12A charge current. Even if Software allows charging current up to 15A, the current may not actually increase up to 15A. In that case, it is necessary to readjust PRO-TRAK
