Hi All

This maybe a silly question how do you exactly use a balancer?

I have just bought some Fantom Racing 3800 IB Lipos and using a Nosram Stealth Evolution charger using a Team Checkpoint Balancer, when i connected it all together the 1S light came on and the 2S light was flickering does this mean it is balancing the 2 cells? then when i started to charge the charger came up DONE which i thought was unusul knowing it was there first charge so i took out the balancer and the Lipo's started charging as normal as can be and switched off at 8.4v

Does the balancer need time to balance the cells before charging?
Cheers for your help
