Default Best Charger for LIHV batteries?

Maclan batteries are LIHV. Look cool. Anyone know the best charger for these? Icharger's work? I keep asking, and no one seems to know. Looks like amain and maclan took LIHV off their text, and is just calling them LIPO now?

I thought I just saw amain just came out with a protek charger that does like 10 amps and it works for the lihv batts and like every other battery ever made. Was thinking about getting it since I run the lihv square packs. You could just do an icharger and charge up to the 8.6v range by adjusting the charging voltage. Just can't charge up to that for racing. I'd be curious to see how much of an increase it would offer though and see how much faster my lap times are.

icharger will go up to 4.4v per cell for lipos if you are using the latest software. However, most races only allow 4.20.

I've been looking at the small ISDT Q6+ it'll do 10A and also LiHV (even though i won't use it). I wonder what effect charging to LiHV once in a while does for them (LiHV pack) and then 4.20 at the races.

I like my Orion V-max duo, it will go to 4.35 per cell, works great and very user friendly. Big plus is not needing a separate power supply to run it.
