As for the other question, you should have two nice pointy probes with the multi meters, a red one and black one ( + and - ). Set the voltage on the grey one to the '2v' option (adjusts the sensitivity), and plug the probes into the 'A' (red) and common (black) sockets. Now, on the lipos balancer plug, there should be 5 red wires (or coloured wires) and one black one. Place the tip of the black probe onto the metal tab of the black wire in the balancer plug, and the red probe onto each red wire's tab, one at a time & in sequence. You should be able to then see the voltage of each cell, or the combined voltages as you go along the line of tabs so to speak (just deduct the first voltage from the second result, and the 1st and 2nd voltage from the 3rd result to work out the individual voltages of each cell).

Your charger should be fairly accurate with the cell voltages, but you can also buy awesome little voltage checkers that plug into the balance plug and tell you the voltages too:

Mmm, man love...

3.2v per cell should be fine- 2.7-2.9v isnt too bad, but it would be better if they stayed around 2.9-3.1v once they are discharged. Seems like 2 cells are little bit weaker than the other two, but not by much, and since they arent matched cells, thats pretty normal behaviour.

Nice Neil! I gotta get me one of those....the third one down looks promising!
