Any one have experience with the new accu cycle elite? I am looking for a charger/ cycler set up and am wondering if this new model is just as good as the triton?

Which one do you prefer?

I have a Triton and I don't regret buying it for a minute. However my father was just in the market for a charger and I took a close look at the Accu Cycle Elite and was impressed with the features, 2 batteries at once, comes with a AC power supply. It does everything that the Triton will do, the only thing I am not sure of is if it will allow you to cycle a battery a few times in a row and then go back and look at the discharge and charge mah. That is the only thing I wasn't sure of, I know it displays these numbers while you are in the charge or discharge cycle, I just don't know if it has a memory for the last cycles.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of these units.

There is a large amount of information including a manual on the RCU site. I have not read all of it but I'm sure it would be worthwhile to do so

charger

well I decided to pick up the charger/ cycler. I am pleased on the simple operation of the charger. I am wondering I have 4.8 v 600mh batteries and I know I can charge them at .6 amps. I know that is the maximum. Is there a more reserved rating instead of craming in the power. Or does it not matter with the delta peak charger.

Bryan just drop your charge rate down to like 0.2 Amps
