i read the manual,it is very simple and easy to understand.....i ran my new 5s 4800mah,18.5volt Zippy-r's on my UE LIGHTNING emaxx.....wow both batts in parallel are SWEEEEEEET!.....they ran for 45 minutes!...i went to charge them and the charger would only recognize 4s(i set it for 5s)......i could not get them to balance charge,but they did lipo charge up to 4800mah and 20 volts each,i will run them again this afternoon and try to balance again,thanks for offering to help,i will let you know how it goes!!!!Lincpimp suggested cheching each cell(they were all 3-3.2 volts)...he also suggested i test the cells through the balance tap.They all have aboout the same voltage.
