 Batteries in general and lithium based batteries in particular require special attention, when it comes to charging and balancing. For this reason, the lab has a Junsi iCharger 1010B+, which offers a complete battery management solution for virtually every battery technology out there and some non-battery related features as well (like DC-Motor burn-in and foam-cutting programs).  Batteries in general and lithium based batteries in particular require special attention, when it comes to charging and balancing.

 It has proved itself as reliable hardware for over a year, especially taking care of the custom made LiPo battery packs for the [[mission:resources:media:orion]]. It even offers a USB port for software updates and data-logging. Unfortunetaly, until now, only [[http://www.logview.info/|LogView]] users could get the logging data, but that would require a closed-source non-free operating system to run, which isn't available here (see Apollo-NG's [[mission:statement#code-of-conduct| Code of Conduct]]). Additionally, while LogView itself may be free (as in free beer), it doesn't seem to be open-source, so another solution was due... It has proved itself as reliable hardware for over a year, especially taking care of the custom made LiPo battery packs for the [[mission:resources:media:orion]].
