Did you compare a balance regular charge/discharge against it? No, I do not own a balancer.

What I find confusing is Lipos have been in other parts of the hobbies for years now, yet now suddenly in the car section this overcharging method is discovered? Shouldn' this have cropped up by now in example racing aircraft? Or with Major Lipo Brands such as Kokam or Thunder Power?

The Cats out of the bag either way, and I don't believe censoring what was posted was/is the answer. Giving substantial scientific process proof (no comparisons to other charge methods/chargers given) would go along way one way or another.
