Tahmazo vs. Hyperion vs. Thunder Power chargers?

[khatiban]

I'm intersted in investing in a new charger so I would like to do a little survey to know more about these few brands mentioned above.
These are the few chargers I'm looking at because their price range are closer to one another (I guess they are between $90-$160? ).

• Tahmazo T15
• Hyperion EOS 5i
• Thunder Power TP-425

I'm more concerned with lipo charging function since I heard bad comments about some chargers like:

• overcharge lipo cells and cause lipo cells to bloat up(e.g. my T4LP )
• charger spoil after a year or so
• charger function differently from what are printed in the manuals
• not user friendly/confusing to use

I would like to hear what others experience from their charger
Feel free to mention/recommend other chargers of different brand/model

Thanks

T15 and EOS5i are identical products under different names. The TP one u mentioned can only charge lipo and has no display. The other 2 chargers are definately better choices. Since the T15 is no longer available locally. I suggest u get the T15 AC/DC or the EOS 5i from BPP and hope the upgrade it the 7i!

btw has anybody tried the new T15 AC/DC?

I just bought t15 today.
my reason for getting t15 is that u can use 220v. there some time i forget to charge my 12v battery and as such, i cannot charge my lipo. also it's able to charge nicad, nimh,loli and lipo and even lead acid. it has 5 charge and discharge cycle for nickel. and the price is reasonable.

any plans to get a T6B active balancer?

[chiadennis]

I don't know as I am still using the hyperion balancer.

I just tried the T15 last night. I has quite a lot of function. the charging setup are easy nce i figure which button does what. the t15 has nimh and nicah auto recycle to help prevent memory lost. maximum 5 cycles are allowed. I did 1 cycle D-->C and it took about 6 hours so if you want to do 5 cycles, it probable 2 days. The alarm and the button tone is very loud and high pitch so pressing those button to do the setup irritage everybody.

some questions about the T15 AC/DC

1. compare with the old T15 how much bigger is the T15 AC/DC?
2. the charger uses 2-pin or 3-pin plug? (its not included right?)

[chiadennis]

It's bigger because of the extra ac converter.
and no it does comes with the ac power cord.
