- Not sure what you mean by input voltage. I have it plugged into the wall via an AC power cable just as I normally do.

I can charge the batteries without the balance cable plugged in, but I'm a bit leary about doing that. The voltmeter seems to indicate the packs aren't actually over voltage. Would it be safe to go ahead and let them charge without the balance cable attached?
