Default Team Much-More cell master v1

Is there anyone using this charger right now?
Any reviews??
My LHS just received one, and if I hear some favourable replies I think I'd be the 1st to own it in my area!

I saw they were very popular at the japanese nats recently. They look nice and are reasonably priced as well.

lee. Ur too slow.
I already started using it 2 hours ago.
Seems great.
It charges up the batteries without any problems.
It has more features then actually there is on the website.
Really worth it.
Furthermore, it makes cute noise when you start, end or error occurs during charge.
The 3 phase charging is cool. The manual actually lets you know what the charger is doing so you get a better understand of whats happening while its charging.
Other then that, its smaller then the CDC v6.0B and lighter too.
The display is very clear.

I forget to add something.
The discharger sucks though.
Only manage to discharge at 10 amps.
But i seldom use it anyway.
Can always pop it into my CDC to discharge at 20 amps.
Still a great charger for the price we pay.

AdR|aN:
you are just the guy I'm looking for...
in terms of charging, which one ends with the cell cooler?
I'm finding the CDC a little too hot. As I remember the Pulsar(super linear charge) ends with the cells having less temps.

Is the 10 amps discharge adjustable?

price is about the same as a CDC v6b or a little less than Pulsar.
Retail price here is US$180.

Yeah. The 20A Power master is well worth the money.
The size and weight of it is amazing.
Even the box it comes with it is slightly bigger then the box where my CTX CM came out from.

One feature I really liked with the CTX was the Li-Po and Li-Io charging function!!

The Power Master managed TWO Tire Truers to be used at the same time without any problems at all, that was amazing!!

Default Cut off temperature

Set Cut off temperature for "Safety"

In Summer,(30C~35C)
Intellect3600, GP3300 52~55deg
Sanyo 3600 40~43
Panasonic Ultra metal 43~45

which works fine but will depend on your location.

Make sure your temp sensor meets on cell's surface.
