Best Review on Hyperion EOS 1420i Net3 Charger
This thing is so versatile! It can take various DC inputs from 10.5 to 29V and can charge up to 14S with just 1 charger. It can do even more if you pair it to another unit. What I really like about the unit is how quality it feels. It has various safety measures and checks everything before charging. If you have an issue with your wiring, it will let you know. Also, the attachments included in the box are quite comprehensive. That was a nice surprise to have EVERYTHING that I needed to start up.
I bought it and left it sitting for a while, but my buddy came over the other night with a battery emergency. He had a 72V A123 battery pack that was over discharged. His charger gave up the magic smoke, so he needed my help. I didn't have a 72V charger on hand, but the versatility of the Hyperion came through.
We took his pack apart. I then tested for the mid point of the pack, essentially making 2 - 36V batteries in series. I then took the Hyperion and charged each half of the pack for about 20 minutes. This was AFTER hooking the Hyperion to my car's battery for a 12V source. To keep the car battery charged, I plugged in a Save-a-battery (available here on Amazon) to the wall and hooked it up to the car. The Hyperion fed the battery 6 Amps at 40V (240W), automatically turning on and off it's fan as needed. 40 minutes later and my buddy was feeling better about his battery and I was feeling GREAT about my charger.
I would recommend this charger to anyone working with batteries from e-bikers to RC enthusiasts or even Power Wheels modders!
I'm using this charger for high capacity LiPo and LifePO4 battery packs. When attached to a 12V power supply, the charger can sustain at least 20A into a 18AH, 3S LiPo pack. This means 20A for about 40 minutes in the the CC portion (of the CC/CV) charge regime. This brings the pack up to about 90% of rated capacity in under an hour.
BalasHapusI had a 24 volt 28 amp power supply and saw this charger on the ebike forum. I like the fact that these chargers have become so smart as to not overcharge this type of battery. Works with LiFeP04 batteries as well. Glad I got this.
BalasHapusShipped from ALL E RC in record time. Great price for a 14S 550W charger.
BalasHapusKnown to be a very reliable unit with a great feature set. But look up the USB isolation issue if you are going to hook the charger up to a PC, otherwise you can fry your USB port.
ottimo il servizio di dialogo spedizione e tempistica di spedizione,mi sono trovato molto bene e spero di fare ancora molti affari,con voi.

BalasHapusI purchased this charger in 2012 and so far I have had no problems what so ever. This is the 1st rc charger I have purchased and so far I am quite happy.
It comes with a well written manual to get you going, which you will probably need especially if you are new to these types of chargers like me.
