PowerLab 8 Banana Jacks Charge Through Mode. - 05.20.2011, 09:16 AM

Snellemin-
Is it possible this charger malfunction is related to the previous short circuit when the battery was plugged in reversed- with the charger still live? What I mean to say is- could that accident somehow have shorten the life of the charger? Or was the only part damaged- the specific part you replaced?

PS. Is it possible to charge a LiPo using the banana plugs, without using the balance plug as well? Reason being- I have some two cell LiPo's that use the two bullet connectors 4mm and the very small 2.5mm I believe it is- bullet connector between the (+ and -) two 4mm connectors. I have a Team Check Point LiPo balancer which only requires I use the banana jacks- from any given charger.

I'm sure I could buy the proper adapter to allow the PowerLab 8 to do the balancing for these older LiPo's I no longer use- but I'm at the moment interested in if this charger will allow me to somehow charge through the banan jacks only- Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
