tahmazo charger

[johnson]

are there any more review on the tahmazo t10 charger?
am debating between the triton and t10. with t10 now <$170, it is getting more attractive......

any comment?

by the way, it will be mainly for lipo.

[PhiBeR]

Well, triton can go 4s lipos..
so if lipos are ur way of life, i think the triton will be slightly better..
Else the t10 has had good reviews i've read..

[johnson]

hi Phiber,

thanks for the reply.

could you point me to where i can find the reviews? i have been searching for t10 reviews but could not find much. thanks.

My TRex!!!

Can check with Waycool, he has a t26.
i think someone is using the t10 over there at rcflying..

got the new toy last night @ $163.4. now looking for a voltage regulator so i can power it with a 16V laptop charger (lazy to bring too many adapters when travel)

[PhiBeR]

Cool! u got it from SHS?
Do give us a nice review n pictures on it as well!

How much are they selling the t26 now?

[johnson]

yes, from SHS.

didn't ask about the t26 price. don't want to get tempted.

t26 a fair bit larger than the t10. t10 is really a travel size charger.

will post picture once i get the voltage regulator and get the charger going.

[johnson]

Didn't find any voltage regulator. Might have to home make one.
However, can't stand the thought of having a brand new charger sitting beside a discharged battery.......

What is in the box......

No cable for the battery, only two plugs and the instruction is not good.

[johnson]

The charger is truely a travel charger, so small.....

[johnson]

Now. Charging.....

Used two multi meter probe with the test probe removed. the plugs fits well.

[johnson]

Closer look...

[johnson]

The charger indicated an input of 12.06V (I know, the SLAB is also drained) and output of 7.00V when first connected.

Charge current set at .9A (C/2)

After 58:27 min, it has pumped in 869mah and current droped to .83A. Battery at 8.398V.

[johnson]

input current continues to drop and battery voltage dropped a bit too.....

[johnson]

input current continues to drop but battery voltage starts to go back up again. still pumping in mah.....
