The Triton is a great charger for the money. There are a few dumb
things about the software, such as the way it erases the total mAh put
into a NiMh cell after it goes into top-off mode, but by and large it
is a very good unit. And again, you can't beat the price.
I use it for all

Thanks all. It sure looked like it would do everything I wanted.
You collectively confirmed my suspicions. My Triton is on order.

Jon,
Thanks for the tip on seeing total mAh! That helps.
Yes, I set the timer, which goes up to 960 minutes (or thereabouts),
which translates into 16 hours - perfect cutoff for formation charges.
The downsides to using the Triton for this are:
1) You have to remember to reset the delta peak,
Looks like the final consensus is that the policy should be left up to
the individual CD, taking into consideration field conditions, wind
strength, and condition of the winch lines.
Some helpful guidelines:
1. Use common sense. Maybe consider allowing one line break per day
after the first
Those are clam shells. They make the drum bigger. When you have very
light line on the drum you don't want to break it so you use clam shells
to lower the torque. It also speeds up the line intake so on dead air or
downwind (if you can't hook over) you get more line speed... again with
less
Cameron,
Formation charges are required for preparing new NiMh packs. You
simply charge the pack at a current level equal to 1/10th of the pack
capacity for around 12-16 hours. For example, a 1000mAh pack would be
charged at 100mAh for 12-16 hours. A 2200mAh pack would be charged at
220mAh.
Can someone with knowledge of the above email editor ping me? I'm having

Jim,
Does the charge HAVE to be stopped after 12~16 hours of charging? I have an
Alpha4 charger which charges until the NiMH battery peak had been reached
and then it switched to C/20 indefinitely.
Thank you for the info.

Yes, you should stop the charge after 12-16 hours. Observe your pack
and you will see that somewhere in this timeframe, it will get warm.
You don't want to keep it in that state for too long, but I've left
some on for 24 hours or so with no observable problems. You definitely
don't want to

What is the deal with ICON sailplanes and selling them privately? It seems
like every time someone mentions buying or selling an Icon from anyone else
(other than the manufacturer) there is some buzz going on about it... Does
the manufacturer prohibit you from dealing with a third party sale or

A proper forming charge takes at least 24Hrs @ C/10. NiCD cells benefit from
this more than NiMH.
Leaving either technology on charge, even at trickle rates, is not advisable.
One has to realize that the original circumstances that lead to trickle
charging regimes was based on back-up power
Thanks for the responses, guys. The private response I got from Brian Smith

remarkable.

Tower has the triton for $120, but you can get 20 bucks off if you use one of their coupon offers, which will just about cover the shipping and the additional charge for the optional thermal probe and maybe an extra connector for your specific pack needs.-Original Message-From: Soaring
I'm returning my IFO Mk3 to flying status. Anyone happen to know the CG
location?
Interestingly, it appears that my CG was ~5 3/8 behind the crosswise spar.
Yet, I asked an IFO rep and he said it was about 3.5! A little difference I
expected. But ~2 is way too much.
Where's your IFO CG location?

Welcome to the fold. There are a great many choices as you mention. If you

The usual protocol is to watch the list for a while before you post,
but there's nothing wrong with your post ...
