Hyperion has released the latest version of the very popular EOS 0615i DUO charger. The latest DUO III version adds a built-in USB port and included USB cable. This USB cable will be used to log battery charging data to your PC and later in the year used for bi-directional communication (i.e. firmware updates). More importantly, the new DUO III can charge at up to 15amps vs. 10amps on the older DUO II. This means with the newer high C charge rate batteries on the market you can now take advantage of shorter charge times.
