Dymond, or FMA SuuperNova are all computerized chargers with much more
sophisticated monitoring and charging techniques. They provide LCD
screens with lots of info on your battery that could not be gained if the pack
false peaked. The cost of these is more than a sirius, Ace, or accucycle,
but not much considering the 10x improvement in sophistication and information,
and pack memory, and ability to handle LI-ion, Nimh, Nicd, and the ability to
fast charge or slow charge, etc.</span></font><font color=black><span
