SuperNova?

I'm not sure about the message...but! If your field battery is at 12.1V It's totally DEAD!!! Charge up the battery and try again, or hook it up to your car battery and try it.
A 12V battery is all but dead at 12.56V or somewhere in there. The range if I remember correctly is 12.58~12.96. approx......don't quote me .......it's been a while since I looked at this stuff.

Rewind!!! I just checked my Super Nova manual........it should work between10.5V~13.8V, you may have a bad unit.......contact Super Nova for advice/help.

Your Supernova should work fine at 12.1 volts. I'm no electronics expert, but the EEPROM WRITE ERROR means that there is a problem erasing and rewriting the EEPROM chip that stores the chargers user programmed batter information, or the chip itself is bad.

FYI:
EEPROM stands for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory, a somewhat less sophisticated cousin to the Flash ROM that the BIOS in your computer is stored on. EEPROM is used to store the programming info on the charger, and your radio too, without the need for a constant power supply (remember when radios needed small lithium batteries to keep programming memory intact?).

Call FMA and see what they say. I'd think that such a thing would be covered under the warranty.

All I know is that my Supernova works fine down to 11v before it sounds the low input battery warning and shuts off.

Maybe mine is the exception.

Worth buying?

Is the SuperNova worth buying? Can get it for €140.
It seems to be No. 1 in the price range!!

The SuperNova is an awesome charger. I don't know why I waited so long. It was the need to do NiMH that got me going.

MrNoodles

euro 140 is wayyyyyyy too much.

Check www.alshobbies.com in the uk, or for a much better charger, the robbe infinity 2 from www.hoellein.de for about the same euros

good luck
