Accucycle elite is a cyler/charger more intended for maintaining receiver batteries for aircraft, not charging high capacity racing packs. It does NOT have internal balancing curcuitry, it requires a seperate external balancer for proper lipo charging. You should look into getting a charger with internal balancing circuitry, at least 5.0A charge capability, get the proper balancer adapter for your battery plug, and individual cell voltage read-out for insurance. Sorry, Man... but that's what I'd do. I still don't think you have too many problems going on other than no balancer. Batteries with a balance lead generally do NOT have an internal voltage safety curcuit to protect against over-discharge. They rely on a proper charger set up to do that.
