Got way too complicated - and since most tracks and racing series now have a maximum charge and discharge rate specified (12A / 20A), I nowadays only use one general setting for all batteries - with the capacity setting even completely turned off.
You know what, now that I think about it- I do have a memory setup for a 7200mah battery, but that one is 3s. Maybe I accidentally went into that one instead, but I do tend to double check. Although this wouldn't be the first time I made a mistake.

I wasn't aware they set the max charge and discharge rates, is this a safety regulation, or just them trying to make things more even?

I won't be regularly discharging at this high of a current, but just wanted to test out the max of my charger successfully. Seems I keep screwing something up.
I'll give turning off the capacity setting, as it's the voltage I'm most concerned about.

Loving the charger so far though, except that the scroll wheel isn't "grippy" enough for me. Any tips for that? Was thinking maybe adding hockey tape or a grip tape disc to it.

Safety and also avoiding tripping the fuse when everyone is doing high charge rates simultaneously.
