Well, I found out they do not come with the output banana jacks. No biggie. Had some at home.

Likes:
  • Backlight
  • Small
  • Lots of information about the charge and discharge.
  • Built in balancer rocks... I can now see the states for each cell, and how far off they are from one another volt wise.
  • Upgradable firmware (which in the future could take care of some of the dislikes)
  • Both a Storage (50%) and Full (95%) mode in lipo helps with pack life.
  • 20+ setting memory
  • VERY SAFE. It gives you notices and warnings about making sure your lipo count is correct. Wont allow you to discharge if the packs voltage too low. Balancer senses connections quickly.
  • Cutoff is fully adjustable and cuts off from the cells versus total pack voltage when using balancer.

Dislikes:
  • One tone
  • Menu system can get confusing (though easier the more I work on it)
  • Though you can discharge lipos, you can't set it up to cycle (yet)
  • It wont try to auto balance the cells while discharging. I know this isn't big, but I would be nice to have both cells cut off at the individual cell rating versus only when the first reaches it.
  • Lots of information trying to be displayed in small screen.

Haven't gotten to play around with the ni-mh/cd settings yet. Want to cycle my React battery a few time, but don't have right adapter.
