UPDATE! It works!!!!!

Added the 10ohm/10watters in parallel on the 5v line and picked up an immediate .3v unloaded for a total of roughly ~12.45.

So hooked up the charger and checked to see what was what... Upon moving to 2c charge rates on my 4200's (8.4A), I'm holding a rock solid 12.34v loaded with no sign of any sag at all at this current loading!!! Brian's a genius!

Now I need to find a place to mount the resistors to bleed some heat. Also need to clean up the wiring and get it all stuff in there..

Holy shiot, those resistors are HOT man! WOW! Just re-charged/storage moded the second pack. Clearly needs to get mounted to the case with some TIM or something but how hot should they be?

Interestingly though, my BRAND NEW Hyperion 4200 35c batt seems a little odd.... Set my 720i for storage (which I thought was 60%) and balanced/storage loaded both packs. I only ran one of the two packs on the first day so the other has been sitting. I hooked it up and saw the battery was at roughly ~46%!!! Doesn't sound right to me. Hoping there isn't a dead cell in that pack. Thing is completely new and hasn't even been in the truck yet.

To complicate this even more, the pack I have run (2x disharge cycles) was also run through the "storage" mode and I just checked that pack and it's at 70%....????

My missing something?
