the charger's balancer fluctuates about .08v per cell. it will say for example, cell #1 4.01 then, a second later, 3.96, then 4.05. all the cells do this and when i check with my voltmeter after the charge the cells will be between 4.10 and 4.24. that is in balance mode. if you looked in the neu lipo thread, i stated how the packs were waaay out of balance and the problem was the charger, not the batteries. i have been slow charging them on my old 50w charger and the balance has been fine.

my old, tested accucel-6 50w charger has the same programming and balances perfect every time.
i cleaned all the contacts on the charger and batteries and have confirmed that the problem is the charger's internal balancer.

would the blinky be sufficient for my batteries even if i charge them at 2c? i would hate to have to spend $160 on a new charger. $30 for the blinky seems a lot less painful.

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
