LIPO chargers that balance during charge phase?
Hi,
Does anyone know which chargers/balancers, or can recommend a specific charger/balancer that balances during the charge phase. I see most of them balance during discharge, but I'm looking for one that basically charges the cells in parallel, shutting off charging each cell individually as it reaches its set capacity.
Thank-you,
Fred

Need 7S capability
Thanks for answering, I should have indicated, pack is 7S. Onyx chargers look great, except they don't handle that many cells.

Thanks, I see the Icharger does, I had read the Hyperion manual 3 times. If it balances while charging it doesn't come right out and say it. It seems to have a separate balancing mode. I like the pc interface for the Hyperion, are you pretty sure it balances while charging?

I haven't yet seen a decent "name-brand" charger that doesn't balance while charging as long as the balance leads are plugged in while the charge is taking place. For example, my Thunder Power and LRP chargers both do it but there's no indication of that in the manual. I think it's just assumed at this point.

I've got 2 Hyperions, yes they balance charge. Mark is correct, it's pretty much assumed nowadays.
The balance mode on the Hyperion is an option if you want to balance only and not charge.
