    Yes it's one of the best if not the best avalable to us. I suggest you pick one up from Mr Hill @ www.battlepack.com. The service is as good as OSE. My last order was @ my door in 2 business days. The price is the same.

      I have it and am very happy with it. I can now leave my power supply home when I go off road racing. Built in balancer is a nice addition as well.

          I am very surprised that Steve doesn't sell the Hyperion Chargers here.

              I have been dragging my feet on Lipo. I'm set up and have access to the Hyperian Line. But have been waiting to clear up insurance issues before taking on all that stuff. I have it planned for early 2008.

                    Hold your horses !! Check out the new CellPro 10S from FMA ; available late January. Dooz swears by the 4S ; I've checked out the 10S & I like it way better than my Hyperion with the LBA 10's.

                      Props my new Hyperion has intergrated balancing. I used it last night for the first time and was shocked how much faster it broght my packs up than my ICE. Not to mention watching it cycle between charging and balancing constantly. It's a very impressive system.

                        The Hyperion will only do 6S, so I'd need 2 to get one boat running ; the CellPro 10S will do 2 4S packs at once for a projected retail of $ 189.95. Your new Hyperion sounds cool however

                          Herr Proper and myself both have Hyperion chargers. We both use bigger packs. We are both in line for the 10S. It can charge TWO 5S packs at up to 8 amps if necessary.

                          I have boats that require four 5S packs. So I can use two of these per boat!!!

                          I hear rumors of a similar Hyperion, but nothing has been announced.

                            Yeah that FMA charger is a great fit for you. I considered the 6s limit when I was shopping. I came to the conclusion I'd never need to charge anything over 6s. What really made the sale was the built in AC power supply & the 139.99 price tag:). I will be looking to cellpro for a couple LVC's very soon.

                              I have the 1210i version and love it. Best charger I've owned. Totally programmable, unlike less expensive chargers. Don't skimp on this one buy it and you'll enjoy getting 100% charges every time. Get a Pyramid 12 Volt, 12 Amp Power Supply and you'll be in business.
