|  The difference a good charger can make
ok i have two old school pro tech chargers, one was for 6-7 cells with discharge capabilty and the other one 6-8 cells with current adjust, these were the better ones a long time ago, and i have been using to charge my 6-8 cell stick, but i had noticed on a quick charge my 1600 mah stick on my clod would last around 10 min so i thought it was the quality of the packs i have 3, then noticed i got 20 min on my 3400 mah packs, and i kepty reading how most of you guys get 45 to an hour on 3000-4000 mah packs on a clod, mine has 75 lathes and 8 tooth pinion, which should give me great runtimes so i reluctantly bought a Hyperion charger and just finished chargin one of the 1600 packs and ran it hard for about 20 min and it still has charge left  , this same pack would get max 10 min , i can only imagine the runtime i will get from 4400 mah batts i just got .Sorry for the long rant, but had to say that love this charger. |

I think I had that same Pro-Tech charger you had. It had a timer, right? That's the problem right there. It doesn't charge long enough to fill up larger batteries. Back in the day, I think the biggest battery I had was around 1200mah, plus that charger is really only meant for older NiCd batteries.

I love my Hyperion (pronounced Hype-ear-eon, not hyper-ion). Never leave home without it!

| http://rclipos.com/ go to the charger section. RClipos is my wholesaler and the Hyperion importer, GREAT guy to deal with. I can get everything he shows on his site, unfortunatly I cant afford to carry all of that  |
