Power Lab 8 FS now :)

wow that is nice!

I do want to see more specs on this, like battery monitoring, health, conditioning like the PL8 has.

This may be the perfect charger, and for lazy people like me, add a parallel board to each side and charge 4-6 2S packs and 2-4 4s packs at one time!!

That 4010Duo is wild. Really pushing the power limits, for full power a 48V power supply on 240V mains would be required (not everyone would need that though I expect). New high for balancing power too.

I’ve heard the Schulze is a high quality unit, but it's not even close to the iCharger in power.

That does look nice! I really like the screen. Not sure how much more power I need than my PL8 though. Already causing lights to flicker at the track when I charge. Seriously, I noticed a few of my saddle pack bullets have started melting the hard case. I think batteris are going to have to cathc up to the power we can put out now.

I noticed that after I posted, my bad. Wonder if the price is something to do with the exchange rate or ? Does seem way out of line.

GFX New was that much way back when

JimmyG 10-24-2012 06:55 PM

Yea.. the two top dogs back in the day was Competition Electronics and Victor Engineering. Both were close to 5 bills...

At least partially because they had significant discharging power though.

Any cars guys on here got this charger yet? It is now available. Was thinking about ordering one this weekend. Mainly because I want a new toy but also because of the 130w discharge capability.

Folks are having discharge issues. Still not as good as a gfx..

Too bad that iCharger looks like a game console. For $350 they could have made it look nicer.

What discharge issues? Only issue I have read so far is some firmware connection break issues when an SD card is used in the charger.
