Hi all
This charger has a FAST CHARGE command for LIPO.

Thank you

Does the Accucel8150 have the ability to discharge Li-po batteries to "Storage Mode"?

Hello,
is it possible to use 2 of them (+ the 350w 25A psu) to charge a 16S lifepo4 pack ? I mean is the psu or charger insulated ?
Is it possible to charge a 8s lifepo4 at 7A ?

Is there a power supply available to run this charger on AC (110 - 120V)? If so how much is it?

I own a Turnigy Accucel-8 charger/balancer, and I have problems discharging NiMH-cells. When I connect the charger to the battery and chose NiMH discharging, the charger just says 'END' after a few seconds without discharging the battery at all. I have no problem charging and discharging LiPo-cells, I only have problems when discharging NiMH-cells.Do I need to use some special settings when discharging NiMH-cells? I've tried with different cells and get the same result everytime.(I enter 1,2v and 0,3A in the discharge-settings when discharging a normal 1,2v 2300mAh battery - that's the correct settings, right?).Hope to get good answers...Esko79

hmalave,
Read two posts up(12-30-09 post) to learn how to charge your 2-cell battery! The method to charge 2-cell LiPo's wiht this charger is probably listed at least ten times in this thread.

According to Jim in Reviews this is how to get 2s to balance.

"Btw, this charger DOES balance 2 cell lipos, just shave the guides off the balance connector and insert it into the far right 3 connectors on the 3 cell slot!"

Has anyone tried this?

Or is there an adapter that can be bought to balance charge 2-2s through the 4s port? If so link please as I am unable to find.

Or would this work?

I just plug my 2 cell battery into the 3 cell slot. I used a hobby knife to mod the slot on the 3 cell slot on the charger. Instead of cuting the tab of all my batteries. It works great and I still can not plug the batteries in wrong. FYI

Hey, I had a funky thing happen to my charger today. I was charging some 6s 5000mAh packs, and I looked over at my charger, and there were some weird characters flashing on the screen. It looked like Chinese characters along with the Omega Symbol. I unplugged it from my PSU and reset it, and it seems ok now. Its set up for english, should I plug the charger into my computer? Are there any updated for it? It charges my packs fine, but I'm worried to walk away from it while its charging. Thanks in advance.

I bought this power supply for Christmas. Has been used outdoors, -5 C frost, has worked without problems (5-7A). At home, problems with temperature, seems to me, after few minutes of charging, there is something like BSD Windows screen and Chinese characters. Should I turn and turn and even then he invites to the end without problems. This problem he is experiencing in the high current (+5 A), I must also in such 2 A Try

Had a similar problem with a imax b6ac, seemed to be linked to loose balance connections on the charger (they would move around with a little force) the weird characters would appear then. it was very sporadic, sometimes appearing randomly - exchanged the charger and haven't had the problem again.

i encounter some problems with this charger. one of my LiPo's does not charge. I recieve an error: "connection failure"that same LiPo on a different charger has no troubles. when i google, i found more people with this same problem. anyone know how to solve this ?
waineman (9 points) 12/14/2009
Does this charger come w/ a manual, because me Accuel-6 did not..
And where do you download the manual from? I've just been fumbling around finding out things for myself.
  Reply:  snans (2 points);
you can download at the product page, by "files"

I have planes that req. 2-4cell packs in series, does this charger allow me to use the bal taps from rhinos, and flightmax packs to charge and balance 2 4cell packs in series while balancing them???
Robert (0 points) 11/20/2009
My 8150 does not count minutes correctly.The safety timer is programmable up to 720 minutes. If you have the safety timer programmed for more than 255 minutes, it will only count to 255 and then starts over again at zero. This sucks! You need to know how many minutes have passed.Have I got something set wrong or do I have a defective charger?
Petr (3 points) 9/30/2009
Hi all,
does enybody know, where I can buy or get SW or CD for this Charger?
  Reply:  Sloperdude (67 points);
Yes, you want to download the LogView software and use the setting for Bantam e-charger 8. Read some of the reviews to find out where you can get it.
Bernd (1 points) 9/17/2009
Hi.
Has anyone solved a problem with the display? My charger shows unknown characters after pressing the stop-button. Sometimes the displayed chatacters clear away. Then you have to plug out and on again.
David (3 points) 9/16/2009
Hi, just got my charge but with no software CD. Can some advise where i might be able to soure this software, thanking you in advance...
  Reply:  jackON5OO (0 points);
same here no USDB nor logger program
  Reply:  Sloperdude (67 points);
-read-the-reviews. Look for LogView.

The reason that so many people ask the same questions over and over is that they don't bother to look first before they ask.

Where can I get the software CD? How do I charge my 2 cell pack? Dont eat the solder.

I bought this charger to add it to my dynamite prophet so i can have two chargers for weekend running and I found myself replacing my prophet with it. This chatger is a dream come true especially for the price. Comparable chargers normally 2 to 3 times the price. This charger makes light work of NIMH batteries even 5000+ mah packs highley reccomend picking one of these up you wont regret it!

Hi all. If you are looking at some uber-expensive Hyperion charger or something similar..... do not waste your money! This charger is $70. An equivalent charger is up to $300. This is better than a lot of chargers that are more. Amazing value for money! Not just that - it actually works very well as well. I use this charger for everything, it works every time. When i have thought it was broken, it turned out to be the battery. The saying 'you get what you pay for' has been absolutely abolished by this magnificent, brilliant charger!
