The adapter allows you to charge up to 4 Ultra-Micro Batteries (E-flite® and ParkZone® single-cell LiPo batteries and others) with any charger that supports 1s (3.7V) Lithium batteries (like TME's Xtrema Charger) via a standard JST conector.</div><br /><div><br /><a name="prodDetailInfo"></a>This adapter is designed to allow the you to connect 1-cell batteries utilized by ParkZone’s Vapor™, Ember™, Ember 2 and Sukhoi, and E-flite’s Blade® mCX via a JST connector to the charger of your choice. The adapter connects them in parallel accommodating batteries of different capacities. By charging in parallel the only requirement is that all cells must be near their normal discharged state before connecting together and consequently charging. You have complete control over the charge rate allowing you to choose a safe 1 hour charge for max battery life.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>This exiting new product is in stock and ready to ship and will be debuted at “The Toledo Show”. this week. TME’s part number for the adapter is XTR-MPB. It will retail for $9.95 and be available at <a href="http://www.tmenet.com/">http://www.tmenet.com/</a> and hobby shops nationwide</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>Ultra Micro™ and all other trademarks mentioned above are used with permission of Horizon Hobby Inc</em></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19456313-915765773343563258?l=www.thextrema.com'/></div>Albert Tejeranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19456313.post-16138984489263563392009-03-31T16:13:00.000-07:002009-03-31T20:21:03.312-07:00New Xtrema Balancer v2.0.2b and Charger v1.3.11b Beta Firmware Update<p align="right"><a href="http://www.tmenet.com/images/xtrema_balancer_single.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 448px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 284px" alt="" src="http://www.tmenet.com/images/xtrema_balancer_single.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br />Great News! In keeping with our promise for FREE updates of new functions and features to our Xtrema product line, we have a new beta release for the Xtrema Balancer and a companion release for the Xtrema Charger to support one of the changes to the balancer. If you do not have an Xtrema Balancer for your Xtrema Charger then you DO NOT need to update the charger.<br /><br />NEW BALANCER FEATURES<br /><br />There are several improvements and changes to the Balancer. Due to the changes in discharge currents in the Xtrema Balancer a change was necessary to the Xtrema Charger firmware therefore BOTH PRODUCT MUST BE UPGRADED. The changes to the balancer are as follows:<br /><br /><ol><br /><li>We added a new resistance measurement function to measure individual cell resistance. This new feature is for comparative readings only and not to be taken as exact cell measurements. This is because the resistance from the balancer connector contacts and the small balancer wires are unavoidably measured in the process of loading the cells throught the balancer connector.<br /><br />There are DC and AC methods of measuring battery impedance. We use a DC method. We measure the loaded voltage then the unloaded voltage across each cell and use that delta to calculate the internal series resistance. Unfortunately when the balancer puts a load on each cell the current is going through the balancing connector and it will add to the resistance of the cell.<br /><br />Another factor that will make your measurements look high is that the impedance of a lipo cell is higher at low loads and at cold temperatures. Even though you will not get accurate cell resistance measurements with this new feature, you will be able to see changes to the resistance of each cell over time. This can help you spot a cell that is going bad. Please experiment with this new feature and tell us how it is working for you. We have started a new thread on our forum for beta testers to comment on the new beta release. Please join our forum and leave your comments at <a href="http://tmenet.com/forums/index.php?topic=318.0">http://tmenet.com/forums/index.php?topic=318.0</a><br /><br /></li><br /><li>We added current limiting firmware that reduces discharge current as the number of cells to be discharged increases. This will help keep the overall temperature of the balancer lower.<br /><br /></li><br /><li>We added an automatic "re-check for balance" feature that starts a new balance 2 minutes (default) after the balancer has completed the balance cycle. This feature will permit our balancer to continue checking for balance when used with NON Xtrema chargers.<br /><br /></li><br /><li>As a result of the new "re-check for balance" feature, we changed the "Power down command" to the "Pause After Balance command" to allow you to change the 2 minute default pause after balance (sleep time before checking again for balance) The time (represented in seconds default=120) can be changed with the XTRBalancer program.<br /></li></ol><br /><br /><p>The new firmware update can be downloaded here <a href="http://tmenet.com/updates/special/XtremaLog%20Setup.exe">http://tmenet.com/updates/special/XtremaLog%20Setup.exe</a> </p>Note that the install will not delete any saved Xtrema plots but only add the updated files. You will need to update the balancer with the file balancer-v2-0-2b.enc and your Xtrema with the file Xtrema-v-1-3-11b.xac into the Xtrema. (note some computers will not show the .enc or .xac part of the file name) Instruction on how to update your balancer can be found in our <a href="http://tmenet.com/forums/index.php?topic=318.msg723#msg723">forum</a>.<br /><br />The new XTRBalancer program can be downloaded here You can now save the graphs to an image for printing or inserting into other documents <a href="http://www.tmenet.com/updates/special/XTRBalancer_Setup.exe">http://www.tmenet.com/updates/special/XTRBalancer_Setup.exe</a><br /><br /><br />Enjoy the new features and don't forget to leave comments or askquestion at our forum <<a href="http://tmenet.com/forums/index.php?topic=318.msg722#msg722">http://tmenet.com/forums/index.php?topic=318.msg722#msg722</a>><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19456313-1613898448926356339?l=www.thextrema.com'/></div>Albert Tejeranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19456313.post-34249274065009515662008-12-15T12:00:00.000-08:002008-12-15T12:24:18.473-08:00We have a new Xtrema Giveaway WINNER!<a href="http://www.tmenet.com/images/Xtrema_small.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 288px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 216px" alt="" src="http://www.tmenet.com/images/Xtrema_small.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Gary Watkins</span> from <span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Lousville KY</span> is the latest winner of a brand new Xtrema Charger Wattmeter.

All that came by had great questions about how our products connect to each other and why. This has prompted us to plan to create a series of videos to explain how our balancer connects to the Xtrema Charger to make the most flexible and safe balancing charger system on the market.<br /><div></div><br /><div>The photo is of our demo setup at the show. Attaching the components with Velcro onto a flat board or piece of Plexiglas is a great way to make things neat while charging. Keep checking back to see our charger in action.</div><br />And to those of you that came by to see us, thanks for making the show a big success.<img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.thextrema.com/uploaded_images/toledo2008-002-edited-767196.jpg" border="0" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19456313-3661511050533504577?l=www.thextrema.com'/></div>Albert Tejeranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19456313.post-30976965558011644082008-02-13T06:52:00.000-08:002008-02-13T08:05:12.388-08:00Balancers are Shipping!We are very busy getting out our hundreds of back orders for our new balancer. So if you are one of the many that have ordered our new balancing system please bear with us just a little longer. We are performing our calibration and final test in small batches so that we can get our oldest orders out the door ASAP.<br /><br />If you didn't place an advance order because we didn't have stock, the wait is over. We expect to get all caught up by the end of the week.<br /><br /><p>Our balancer when combined with our Xtrema Charger / Wattmeter is a combination that can't be beat. With many new features that will leave the competition scratching their heads. Like the capability of automatically detecting and handling up to 4 balancing pigtails of packs configured in series or parallel! All this power is configured fully automatic with cell count verification! It doesn't get any easier. All balancing connections are fully optically isolated so that worrying about balancer order and battery order are a thing of the past. A universal 0.1" spaced connector that fits most balancing plugs with an optional inexpensive 2mm spaced adapter that fits the remaining brands. No damage to battery or balancer if balancer plug is reversed, even when connected to four different battery packs! This system gives you unmatched safety when connecting balancer leads.</p><p>The balancer in stand alone provides many firsts for TME. Like a jumper to select between M1 cells from A123 or standard Li Ion/Polymer/Manganese batteries. Or an LED to signal how far out of balance your pack is that you can watch as it balances your pack. It also features our standard FREE updates for life with downloads available on the Internet.</p><p>Another BIG first is the ability to use the balancer with your PC! This gives you access to some hidden features like watching individual cell voltages while balancing! Or watching individual cell voltages while your battery is under pressure from YOUR systems load! Or how about customizing the min and max voltages of balance operation to your preferences. And there are other features planned to keep the competition worried! FREE to TME users of course!</p><p>The Xtrema Balancer, another reason the Xtrema is the leader of the pack!</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19456313-3097696555801164408?l=www.thextrema.com'/></div>Albert Tejeranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19456313.post-80781616757684346512007-12-16T07:57:00.000-08:002007-12-16T18:21:37.049-08:00Dave Barden is the winner of our December Xtrema Giveaway!<a href="http://www.tmenet.com/images/Xtrema_small.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.tmenet.com/images/Xtrema_small.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong>Dave Barden</strong> from Seattle, Washington is the new winner of a brand new Xtrema Charger Wattmeter.

The optically isolated interface supports two balancers each and can be paired up to provide up to 4 optically isolated balancing connections! This means you can simultaneously balance up to 4 series or 4 parallel packs connected to separate balancers but charged as one giant pack! The isolation makes connecting balancers worry free since there is no way to get dangerous shorts if the sequence or polarity is wrong. Yet another TME first!

(formerly in beta) If you have been running the beta version of the XtremaLog program we suggest you download and install the new production version as it fixes a small bug that caused a failed capture if the temperature probe was not plugged in. The new XtremaLog program also now features a convenient installer program making installing and un-installing much easier.<br /><br />Along with the new program releases we have updated the Xtrema Instruction Manual and have expanded it to 35 pages! In the new manual we added instructions on how to update the firmware and added operation instructions for the XtremaLog program. We also have a breakdown of the file format for captured files in case you would like to import the data into your favorite spreadsheet program.<br /><br />As usual the new programs and instructions can be found in our <a href="http://www.tmenet.com/downloads.htm">downloads</a> section of our web site.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19456313-3602321588672259997?l=www.thextrema.com'/></div>Albert Tejeranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19456313.post-3167642653293688362007-04-26T17:55:00.001-07:002007-04-28T21:07:03.390-07:00Xtrema Li - Balancer Introduced at SEFF<a href="http://www.theXtrema.com/uploaded_images/balancer-004-798440.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.theXtrema.com/uploaded_images/balancer-004-798437.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div><a href="http://www.theXtrema.com/uploaded_images/balancer-020-792073.jpg"></a><br /><div>Yes you have all been asking about it and we are finally showing our hottest new product and our next big upgrade to the Xtrema. The Xtrema Balancer is a 2-6 cell Li Balancer that balances all Li rechargable batteries down to 2.8 volts/cell. Like the Xtrema we are offering free updates for life so that you can feel secure that you will always have the latest technology and the coolest new features. It can operate in three modes: stand alone, stand alone with data cable, and integrated with the Xtrema via the BIM (Balancer Interface Module) (( Yeah I know it has a NASA type techie name but guess what? Engineers from Florida are geeks so it's OK!))<br /><br />Stand alone with the optional data cable the Xtrema Balancer offers some cool features never seen before: (same cable as used with the Xtrema) You can start or stop balance from your computer while watching the indiviual cell voltages displayed. It will also discharge to a specified voltage. (another way to get storage charge) You can also specify a programmable maximum voltage to allow you maximise the life of your cells. And like the Xtrema, data cable owners will be able to download updates FREE from Internet without having to return the unit to us.<br /><br />When the Balancer is connected to the Xtrema with the BIM you will be able to gang one or two of them together to get up to 12 cell balancing (M1 cells) fully integrated into the Xtrema Charger/Wattmeter. It will also add bullet proof cell count verification to the Xtrema. The BIM provides all the necessary opto isolation and communications channels to allow you to hook up your stacked packs with out fear of accidental shorts.</div><br /><a href="http://www.theXtrema.com/uploaded_images/balancer-020-796521.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.theXtrema.com/uploaded_images/balancer-020-796518.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />While this design is still under development we hope to have it fully tested and in production by the end of the summer. While we have not fully gone through a costing of the balancer we hope to have it retail for under $35. The BIM and all the necessary connection cables to support up to two balancers should be under $49.<br /><br />Stay tuned for release dates:</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19456313-316764265329368836?l=www.thextrema.com'/></div>Albert Tejeranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19456313.post-65722786071445368702007-04-21T08:13:00.000-07:002007-04-21T08:20:52.950-07:00New Xtrema Giveaway Winner!Ryan Stokes from Two Rivers, Wisconsin is the new winner of a brand new Xtrema Charger Wattmeter.

Well, after a few more tweaks we will be releasing it to our beta testers. Here is `a sneak peak of a screen capture of the XtremaLog output displaying a graph of a 10s1p "m1" pack that was charged.<br /><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Click on the images to enlarge...</span></em><br /></span><br /><a href="http://www.tmenet.com/images/motorun1.jpg"><img height="152" src="http://www.tmenet.com/images/motorun1thumb.jpg" width="200" align="right" border="0" /></a>Xtremalog will also log data while the Xtrema is being used as a wattmeter Have you ever tried to use a wattermeter to study a new motor/battery setup and realized you had to write a bunch of changing numbers while you ran up your motor to see if your system was in spec? With the XtremaLog program used as a power analyzer, you can let your computer log the numbers and analyze your results later! The dual superimposed display lets you compare your performance to a previous run for more powerful analysis!
