I have heard that the Competition Turbo Thirty charger is not efficient in charging IP3800 and IB 3800 batteries. Does anyone have any tests or personal experience in charging with newer chargers versus the older Turbo Thirty.

Thanks

Jim

It's from a couple weeks ago when I asked a similar question on this topic. It should help answer your question.

The charge is the same.. Its just the older ones have safety setting for older packs so they didnt over charge.. Since the newer cells charge longer, it is recomended to stop after about 1000 seconds, then re start.. packs will charge fine then..
