I've updated 3 of them with just a 2s shorty pack that was at storage voltage, hopefully its not something that is wrong with the charger. Try using a different computer or a different cable. I used a $49 7" Chuwi Windows 10 tablet, I'm surprised it worked.

I get this but what I don't understand is why the 2S guys can use 1 ohm resisters and the 1S guys have to use .5 ohm resisters to get to 30 amp discharge.

Post 209 shows the math formula and an example that gets you the necessary resistance for 1s .13 ohm and 2s .26 ohm. He also shows how to do the resistance in parallel math to get the proper total and resistor value to arrive at these values.

If you want to discharge at 30A, look this Regenerative Discharger for iCharger: rcdischarger.com/

Because Ohms law. 1S is half the voltage than 2S so the needed resistor is also half to get the same current.
