Which leads to the comment if only they'd make the units conveniently end user flashable so firmware could quickly and easily be upgraded to the latest revision to fix bugs like this.

Mind you, I'd probably had been considerably more annoyed if I'd paid the previous full retail price (as he did) for the unit only to belatedly discover that 'feature'. As an acquaintance had owned one for a while prior to me acquiring mine, I was aware of that bug before I bought, but decided it still a preferred buy to the EOS 5i (& Swallow) for the same $$$. In the final analysis it's really only a minor annoyance more emotionally irritating than anything else by virtue of the knowledge that the unit has a unresolvable bug it shouldn't that the end user has to kludge around than actually effecting the unit's true usefulness in battery handling capability in any way. No prizes for guessing that's almost assuredly why it has recently been dumped in the marketplace at the slashed pricing it has.Īs it's procedurally wise to crosscheck settings before execution anyway, as I see it it's little more inconvenience to simply have to dial in the required voltage if it requires changing than merely visually confirm it on the LCD. So when you change the voltage in setup for any memory, it defaults it to that for ALL 10 memories, essentially rendering the 10 memory function semi-redundant from a simple 'select 1 to 10 and press go' convenience standpoint.

Re your inquiry of the Platinum EX re the necessity of checking (& resetting) the voltage setting in the respective selected memory whenever you change battery type or # cells? That's my understanding, and essentially what the RED warning enclosure is all about.Īs I interpret it, it's a 'feature' (someone fcuked up) of SJ's Platinum EX that it won't retain the previously selected and saved voltage setting per individual memory. On a tight budget, SJ's Swallow is hard to beat, but possibly more importantly, is unquestionably the most popular contemporary charger out there so there's invariably always someone at the field who can answer any question about its operation. Pricewise though, IMO the Swallow can usually be had for considerably less. Hyperion's EOS 5i has certainly got a better written manual, and firmware - revision dependent. It is much better and more flexible in software, than the Swallow.
