THIS IS A QUOTE FROM AN OTHER SITE (rcgroups)
1420i is in production and should be shipping within 2 weeks. Super DUO3 (SDUO3) is on track for arrival at Hyperion warehouse end September, or Oct 15 at absolute latest.

SDUO3 will have one LCD screen for each channel, with 500W per channel and 20A max outputs. The design is not based on any other charger, fyi...

Sorry to have been absent, but I have been extremely busy moving to the USA with my family the past 2 months, and have started arranging a USA service center for Hyperion chargers the past weeks, which we hope to have fully operational by Xmas... On top of the usual development of a bunch of great new products, like our HV (DH) series servos, coming out this week.

Thanks for your patience!


David

PS: All chargers we produce henceforth will be pre-loaded with v5.0 firmware, which has some excellent refinements to things such as PB charge, and the final tweaks we need to make the PC Control and Data SUITE everything that everybody has asked for.

The new Hyperions have been expected since July, so I'd expect them later than sooner......

July? I'd say at least since May. Of course with that said I'd wait on the new Super Duo at this point unless someone needs a charger asap.

Looks like the main thing added with v4.7 is the PC charger control capabilities as enabled by ECDS - EOS Control and Data Suite software.

ECDS requires EOS firmware version 4.7 or higher. Visit the EOS Firmware Update Page

ECDS Enables:
* Full Control of the Charger Via PC
* Editing/Storage/Uploading of Memory Positions to/from Charger
* Rich Data Logging features
* "Tagging" of packs for long-term analysis
* Customizable Alarms
* And more.....

500W but still limited to 20A seems kind of silly. 25A at least would be nice to do 5C charges on 5000mAh packs.

Does anybody know if the Super Duo will do regenerative discharging like the PowerLab 8 and iCharger 3010B?

Hyperion has a 175+page thread on their chargerson RC Groups. The new models have been discussed quite a bit but I don't see the term
'regenerative' mentioned a single time. Doesn't look like it.

The Hyperion HP-EOS1420iNET3 has been available in Hong Kong for almopst a week. No sign of the SuperDuo. It was re-scheduled for Nov release last thing I had seen.

Amain and a few others have the Duo3+'s on back order...wonder if that means Hyperion is switching the stock to the super duo. Would be nice if that was the case meaning those chargers might be showing up soon. As previously said and on their website the 1420i is out along with their other planned chargers for this year. I think the only one to not show yet is the SD.

(Man the anticipation is killing me lol. Too many big batteries )

Wish we could get word on a renewed release date from Hyperion.

All E RC is a Hyperion dealer and he has the 1420 instock and also shows the EOS0615I DUO III+ as back order (600watts, 300watts per port). Neither ALL E RC or Amain say when its expected and with how much the release date has slipped, I bet Hyperion won't comment either cause they're prob embarassed.

The shop in Hong Kong that seems to get Hyperion stuff early (I got my EOS Sentry from them before it was available in the US) is taking pre-orders saying DUO3+ will ship before 12/15.....
