The way i have gone about charging multiple packs is to only run for 5 minutes ( 2s lipos, I race oval), and then parallel charge. I can charge 8 5000 mah packs in about 20 minutes at 2c with the icharger. The hitec would take about 45, in my experience to balance charge 1. Buy the icharger and parallel boards. Never buy another charger. I know I wont.
Thanks I will definitely look into that. I know that particular charger is mighty expensive but judging by the reviews it is one amazing charger.
I still have some learning to do...again right now I am charging my batteries on my car battery with my Hyperion charger as there are no outlets...if this is not setup for that then I will have to just wait a little while or buy myself a small compressor to power this thing.
