All the Hyperion info can be found here: http://media.hyperion.hk/dn/eos/
USB/Cord adapter kit here: http://www.maxamps.com/HYP-USB-COMBO.htm

Just follow the links.

Thanks Jason!

Your very welcome.

Right now there are no updates for the 0606i and as far as I know the Beta version of the data logging program is only for use with the 0610i DUO and NET chargers. I haven't tried an 0606i with it.

fishfever · 11-08-2008, 08:29 PM

how is this one ???

One of the best chargers on the market

My personal preference is towards a DC only charger because they're smaller and I already have a power supply, but if you don't that one is a very good choice.

Not to steal business out from underneath Maxamps, but JRH has them for 10 bucks less.

Both maxamps and Holmes Hobbies are top notch retailers, you won't be disappointed with the service from either.

For the solid performance and specs the charger has, it is a great tool. It has certainly met my needs well for a while now. The DC only version is really tiny too.

crawldad91 · 11-09-2008, 09:12 AM

john, question...............i notice it doesnt have output chords, do you just make your own with say deans wet noodle, or ultra wire with gold banana plugs? or do you need to buy them as well

JohnRobHolmes · 11-09-2008, 09:14 AM

On this model you can make your own or buy them. 4mm banana plugs fit, as do any other 4mm plug. I can throw a pack of plugs in for you no charge, you would just need wire.

Scattman · 11-09-2008, 09:33 AM

That's service right there.

The Hyperion 0606i AC/DC is the one I have and it comes with balancer. Easy to use.

Best charger out there IMO.

JohnRobHolmes · 11-09-2008, 01:51 PM

Balancing is important for lipo, and most important for cheap packs where lack of cell matching creates a pack that is always out of balance.
