Не знал куда, по этому здесь.
На вопрос может ли 8й повер лаб заряжать как обычные так и "высоковольтные" паки без перепрошивки лаба каждый раз, есть ответ на сайте производителя - да может!
Для этого его действительно нужно перешить с компа использовав "крайнюю" версию управляющей/прошивающей программы.
И потом в пресетах наряду с обычными полимерами будет как "химия" 427, так и 435.
Ниже текст с сайта. Если надо - переведу.
To obtain support for the new LiHV chemistry and the new Blend427/Blend435 presets for the Cellpro PowerLab 6 or PowerLab 8, proceed as follows:[/b][/size]
1) Update your PL6/PL8 Charge Control Software (CCS) installation. This may be accomplished by launching the application, closing it, then launching it again. Be sure to click "OK" when prompted to update the application. Alternatively, click the top graphic above, navigate to the Resources tab for the corresponding product (PL6 or PL8), then click on the link to the CCS Installation page to re-install the application. Either method accomplishes the same objective.
2) With the PL6/PL8 powered up, connected to the PC via the FUIM3 PC Interface, and communicating with the CCS (look for "Waiting to Start" at the top of the program application window), click the Firmware tab, highlight the latest firmware version in the list, then click "Update Firmware".
3) After CCS and the PL6/PL8 LCD confirm the firmware has been updated, click on an EMPTY User preset (or a preset you wish to over-write), then use the command File > FMA Default Presets > Open File to Preset #, browse to the LiHV folder and choose one of the LiHV presets "LiHV Blend427 High Power" or "LiHV Blend435 High Power". Repeat this step if you wish to copy both presets to the User Preset bank of your PL6/PL8.[/size][/font]
Note: The new LiHV Blend427/Blend435 presets work with any brand of High Voltage LiPo batteries that may accept max. charge voltages of 4.27V or 4.35V, respectively. Also, please be advised, while the new Blends are designed to sustain and safely operate at the higher charge voltages indicated, you may experience a small compromise in life expectancy when operating at the specified higher voltages for prolonged periods.
NEVER UTILIZE THE NEW LiHV CHEMISTRY PRESETS TO CHARGE STANDARD (4.20V) LiPo's. OVERCHARGING ANY LiPo BATTERY ABOVE ITS MAX. SPEC CHARGE VOLTAGE RATING CAN RESULT IN FIRE!
