Kinda makes you wonder why manufacturers make a charger with such low power limits. Sure, in the past it was OK because many people only ran 2s, but with today's high capacity packs and/or high voltage, it makes no sense. And, if a charger says it can do 10s and 10A, it should do both at the same time (420w). Most people aren't even aware of the power spec and how it affects their charging. And, many chargers don't readily list the power limit (or it's buried somewhere in fine print) and that is just wrong IMO.
