no need to open case, it should be in system info

I have just noticed something using firmware v 1.06c for a few minutes
If you change between the charge settings (IB4200, GP3700 etc) It doesn't remember to discharge before charge.
Also can someone tell me how often and how long after peaking will the Autorepeak occur

Hardware update
Does anyone know what parts are involved in the hardware update?
I found using the new firmware update that the temp readings have possibly gone the other way, lower readings than my temp gun never a worry about capacity either putting 5200mah+ into 4200s on 1mv setting.
Allthough I only ever had any problems if the packs had suspect cell/s they would heat up.

what do you mean the temp readings have gone the other way? (for me, the temp readings on a temp gun has ALWAYS been lower than that of the temp readings of the icc)
i think rob said a few posts ago:
it's very simple, just 3 connecters, takes about a few seconds.
And don't forget to change the settings between 5 and 6.
but i am eager to see when it will hit the market too..

They seem to be the other way ie cells read cooler with the temp gun than what it says on the charger display.
I have always just set the mv to keep the cells cooler no other charger puts in as much mah as the icc and I have a few top line chargers.
The other thing I have done is used the older muchmore battery heatsink with the top removed placed on top of the cells to reduce heat, this works very well as sometimes it gets to 40 deg celsius here.

bjspinner,
its good to know that the temperature on the icc is reading higher than the temp gun... at least for me, since i have always went by the numbers on the temp gun.
just wondering though, you said the icc can put more juice in.... have you tried discharge and see if it can take more juice out? (just a curious newb here hehe)

I have just gotten a Spintec I.I.C. and it has the 1.06 update. have you had any problems like you discribed while charging 6 cells?? (I just got it and have yet to hook it up ot a P.S.) also do you have the P,C, cable????
Thanks

It was 22C at the track last night and it's not very easy to get the cells up to 31.5 before they peak if you're charging very hard. I leave a bunch of runtime in the pack and discharge it right before I charge and that works pretty well.
Still need to get the cable.

I noticed the temp thing myself last night. They were reading 50 degrees C when they were discharging and the temp gun said 40. Kind of worried me that they won't get fully charged now and they might shut-off with the temp if they are reading higher now.... I still need to charge a pack on it though to check. I thought it was a little weird, the temps being backwards now.

That is the big question.
Only about another 50-70mah but there is a more noticable increase in voltage and punch.

cool! i cannot wait to get home... (in 7 months) and use the icc again... dang i miss this hobby.... >_<
The difference is by 10 degrees? ... but I would rather not get full cells than venting cells... hm.. set the temp settings 5 degrees higher?
just guessing a solution...

is it like that with ALL your packs? or just that one specific pack?
