Thanks for the input and yes not charging in Lipo mode is the first thing I thought as well. It seems to be charging in another mode but screen is for sure in LiPo mode. I have triple checked all settings and even went as far as taking charger to local HS to get another opinion.

I am so scared of burning my house down that I do the charging process outside with a lawn chair and a beer and wait for it to blow!!

The reason I went to the forums is to see if anyone has had a bad charger. Specifically a Venom pr2?? I guess I am hoping I have have a bad charger because I don't believe I could have three bad batteries out of 4?

My next step is purchasing a new charger and I know this is a loaded question but what is the best charger. Let's say price is not a factor, I have already seen $$ go up in flames. I'd like to know what the dream charging set up would be, haha.

Any info would be great
