2S maximum

:mad:

2S maximum. That is too bad. Wish Novak would at least have gone for 3S. At 3S voltages, the efficiency is greatly improved...less current is required. Wonder if it is a BEC issue?

I believe that is the way some balancing chargers work. They charge the cells to about 4.1V and then slow down....varying the current to the cells that are lower...until all cells reach 4.2V.
