the 1210 is a great charger, I have 2 of them and they are usually used to charge my cordless tool packs. Maybe it is just me but I get more power and runtime out of the cordless tools when the batteries have been charged by the hyperion, vs the std charger. I started doing this monthly to charge the nicds at .3 amp to allow the cells to self balance. Figured I would get more life out them.

As Neil said you need an external balancer, and if you plan to charger 7+s lipo you will need 2 lba 10 balancers and the network cable. I will caution that you cannot charge/balance more than a 6s pack, the dual balancers networked will allow you to charge 2 identical up to 6s packs. So you cannot charge an 8s pack, even with the 2 networked balancers. I wish hyperion had a 12s external balancer...
