ok, metalman, my head's spinning.. I've got 2s 3100mah polyquest packs.. and AF109d chargers (i know you've already said that that charger isn't recomended w/ balancers..)

now, I've got PCM's, which you said were not balancers.. so the PCM makes sure that the packs are not over charged correct?
and a balancer would make sure that both cells charge equally..

so if I were to use a balancer, would I use the pcm as well? the pcm plugs into the pcm jack on the packs, and then into the charger.. is there a way to put a balancer between the pcm and battery or charger? or... gimme a hint.. I havn't tried charging the packs yet, so don't want to mess it up..
btw, what balancers would work with my cells?

thanks for any help in advance.
