Also you don't mention that 20 amps on a 2s pack is at the upper range of what that charger can do on DC on 1 channel. If op ever does 3s and 4s your blowing way past the watt limit of that charger. Buy more charger than you think you will need.

Well... this is awkward.

Also, shame on Hitec they hide a really good feature of this charger in the damn notes. Why not have that 20 amp limit on DC front and center of your product page.
That is on AC power my friend And I stated it can charge up to 20 amps on a single channel, not that it can charge every battery at 20 amps on a single channel. The OP wants it for 2s lipos right? That means he can charge the batteries he's using at 20 amps on AC power.

EDIT: I do agree though, it's dumb for Hitec to not advertise the full capabilities of the charger. I found this stuff out from others that bought the charger while doing research before I purchased.
