Does anyone know if the ac/dc version of the 702 is limited to 5 amps on the discharge function?

I assume you meann the 0720iNet3-AD charger?

It is limited to a 5amp discharge and a max discharge of 50watts per the specs on the 1st page of the manual -

I guess my question should have been:- why does the ac/dc version only disc. at 5 amps while the dc only version will disc. at higher rates.
Thanks

The AC/DC 0720iNet3-AD is basically an upgraded 0606i (1amp and 5watt discharge capability). Ultimately its either the internal components won't allow any higher discharge or the heat dissipation limits the unit to 5amps.


This charger almost shares a name with the more powerful DC version, but I bet little else. These two chargers are not close to being similar.

The only difference in the name is addition of the ac/dc. Guess I should have done more research before buying.....

Unfortunately, you're not the only one with that kind of experience....

I am just wondering which of the other models would fill the bill better. I was looking at the 606 dc only model also, probably should have gotten that instead.....

0606i DC has only 1amp and 5watts for discharge, not very practical if you're discharging anything of any voltage and or capacity.

The discharge function was added late the these chargers and that's the reason its so limited in this generation, they were not originally designed with discharge in mind. The next generation of Hyperions were designed with discharge capabilities and is the reason its more powerful in these later models.
