When a manufacturer says their balancer does 2 cell packs, do they actually mean any 2s pack?
I know this might seem obvious to some, but i don't want to go buy the wrong thing, so i am asking everything i can think of.
The only time cells can become out of balance is when they are connected in series. Cells connected in parrallel will always have the same voltage, as long as both the pos and neg terminals are connected together.
Cell Configuration: 12
34
Cells One and two are connected to gether to create the Main+ for the battery pack, the negative of 3&4 are the negative to the main battery pack. The "Balance port" is connected to negative of 1&2, and the Positive of 3&4.
Hope that helps.
