Also, before I go lipo, when charging nimh batteries, will I be able to charge two batteries at once using a "Y" harness? I also heard that they tend to false peak sometimes. Is this true and can it be fixed?

Ive been using the 989 since it came out and its darn nice I gotta say. Best bang for the buck out there for do everything chargers IMO.

I think the 989 is a nice charger for the money and specs.

how does the y harnes work? and how would u hook up the ballencer to 2 packs?

id use to max amps 8k mah packs with the hyperion ballencer

The Y harness is one set of dean that is just wired so there will be 2 deans sets on the other side. The charger just has to be capable of chargering that many cells. I am not so sure about the balancer though.

Im not sure about the wiring of the balancers.. maybe metalman can scope in on this, or just ask mike or austin to make you one.
