TP 10-12C charge rates!

[Tom Burgess]

Just been listening to an interview with Jason Merkle from ThunderPower RC at IRCHA on the RC Freak Podcast.

Apparently they are developing 6S 5000 mAh packs capable of over 50C discharge and 10-12C charge rates.

So basically a full charge in 10 - 15 minute's Apparently they have these packs at 350 cyles and still going strong.

Same price as the current 45C packs so just over £220 for a 6S 5000 pack.

Pretty impressive

Sounds great but where are the chargers and PSUs to charge at those rates. I mean you are going to want to charge a pair at once. Isn't that like 120A needing a 1800 watt psu? Or have I miscalculated? What about field charging? Did they divulge what chargers they have been using to deliver those rates for 350 cycles? Cos I want some of that.
