Weird, somebody else cut the grill out and gets much lower system temp.... Almost like what I have been saying for a month (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=4837203 is true... Regardless of what other misinformation might be spread by those who haven't removed the grill and...- dssguy1

LOL, CE certifications. Like the ones the chargers don't even have from the first generation (like mine). Yeah, not really worried about that paperwork exercise. I purchase highly modified flashlights, none of those have any kind of warranty or certifications but they sure are fun. I guess...- dssguy1

I get nowhere near your temps so maybe just stick to making comments about your own charger. 67 degrees max on my charger at 4 x 1amp. Difference could be the removed grill mod. Guess you will never know if you don't do it? Why so adverse to removing the grill? It's not like you need to move...- dssguy1

Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer I guess kreisl forgot to put "don't push on the middle of the fan when seating the fan". Or maybe he considered that obvious.... Good luck finding a 15v replacement fan. If it is running fine with no noise, I would leave it alone...- dssguy1

Can't you just use another Li-Fe 3v battery (or two AA's in series) to charge it via wires for a minute or two? Just enough to get it above the "I think you are a NiMH battery" voltage level of the MC3000? I have done that a bunch of times to jump start a battery that my chargers thought was...- dssguy1

Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer Ah, another "remove the grill" convert. My charger runs cool as a cucumber now that the fan is reversed and no grill is impeding the CFM of the fan!- dssguy1

Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer What am I doing different that I don't go past 65 C in the same situation. I removed the grill is the only difference that I can see.- dssguy1

Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer I like my setup a little better, obviously I'm partial because I have a 3D printer and it took 15 minutes and $1 in parts. Much less of a rat's nest of live wires and I can plug any type of end connector to my female 5.5x2.1 barrel...- dssguy1

Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer I created a spacer blank for my MC3000 to charge batteries out of the cradle (like LIPO packs). Pretty simple design that I 3D printed and used Keystone connectors: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/228/36-228-ND/528660...- dssguy1

Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer I'm still rocking 62-65 degrees Celsius, discharging 4 Li-ion at 1A. All I did was flip my fan and cut the grill out to reduce restriction. Some of the other guys are doing stuff that still runs the charger near 85 Celsius and seems...- dssguy1

Re: SkyRC — IFA 2014 / CES 2016 — MC3000 charger-analyzer It starts slow when you have a very discharged battery. Wait a few minutes instead of panicking and pressing stop.- dssguy1
