Do I connect the lipos positive terminal to my Ice's positive wire and connect the small plug to the Ice's negative wire and charge at half the rate? After finishing that cycle do I connect the lipos negative terminal to my Ice's negative wire and connect the small plug to the Ice's positive wire and charge again? Specific charge settings and instruction would help using my Ice. Thanks.
I recently picked up the Orion Balancer since I have 5 packs running between four cars. I figured it was worth it since I had so much money invested in this. Got it wired up and it turns out that none of my batteries are out of balance yet after at least 15 runs. One battery I picked up used so I have no idea how many runs are on it. After checking with a meter, my worst battery's cells were within .02v of each other.
