I bought a Gyrfalcon 8 slots in GB on October 25
I bought it to charge the batteries of the GT
Shipped by BPost next day
It not arrived yet
At this time of year, mail officers in my country usually organize union actions
It is not to doubt that arrives next year
If I had ordered a GT, which I have not, I would buy one of the high current nitecore chargers.
There’s no need to charge a 3500mAh battery at 1A.
You can charge LiPOs at 1C and never notice any decrease in capacity or lifespan.
Charging at 3.5A is perfectly safe and will be more than 3x faster than 1A.
In RC, pretty much everyone charges their packs at 1C, with some special packs that are safe up to 5C charging.
LiPOs are not as delicate as one might think.
Emailed imrbatteries.com a few days back and asked about a group buy for $45 shipped and they said no thanks. Normal price is $55 plus about $9.50 shipping. They have quantity discounts of 4 at 40 each and 10 at 38 each so they pay less than $38 each.
