Upgrading my charger set up. Definitely gonna be a learning curve with this charger. Does this charge LIHV protek batteries?
what power supply would you recommend? I can get a shurr speed on a good deal.

I have a 2 year old 4010 and it doesn't have a specific Li-HV setting, but you can just change the charge voltage up to 4.35v.
I've heard theres a new limit of 4.4V roughly with the updated firmware, but I have no desire to charge anything that high.
So you may not have a specific profile but you can still charge a Li-HV to its max rated voltage either way.

Progressive rc has the instructions and software to update the ichargers; Duo Updates - ProgressiveRC this update includes the LIHV setting. You can also just make a profile and bump up the charge voltage to 4.35. I upgraded mine a couple years ago and it was a simple process.

Page 35 of the manual:
Firmware Upgrades via SD Card
- i Create a new directory in the available SD card: X:\Junsi\Upgrade ;
- ii Rename the firmware file to 406DUO.BIN, and copied to the new directory;
- iii Insert the SD card into the charger, and press the Knob, STATUS-2, STOP/START-2 at the same time and electrify,
the charger will automatically upgrade the firmware, which takes about 20 seconds. - iv After the upgrading is complete, the charger will reboot.
