Then switch to powering the charger from your 4S pack, note the input voltage and charge your 2S pack. Note the input voltage again the difference between your two voltage values will give you the approximate reduction or gain in your 4S pack over a charge/discharge cycle. If I were doing this I’d be aiming to keep the 4S input pack between 15-16V at all times through the cycle. This requires the 4S pack to be much higher in capacity than the 2S pack you’ll be charging.

When regenerative charging like this you’re charging the 4S pack without any balance connection, so there is potential for over or under charging if you’re not careful, and could ruin your battery or cause a fire with some minor lapse of attention. Set up the voltage limits in the power source settings menu, and be sure to switch to this profile.

Really though it is a better and safer idea to build or buy a discharge bank for fast discharging.
thanks for the great explanation I guess I'll give it a try and see how it goes I have a discharge Bank Running on my 406 but we're running four cars between myself and my son just need to cycle four packs at the beginning of the day was hoping this would be an easy way to get it done faster cause a lot of the time were in the same heats. I guess the problem with running a discharge Bank on the x6 is when you cycle it you have to unplug it after it discharges to charge it to get any decent charge rate was looking to do 30 discharge 30 charge.
