If so, can I get my powersupply to push enough volts to charge my 5s?:032:
That does sound like a P/S issue. What error message do you get?

If you are getting no charger errors, depending on what amperage you are trying to charge at, you might be hitting the 120w limit of the charger. With a 5s pack, you can only charge at 5.71A (assuming cells are at 4.2v/cell). With 4s, you can charge at 7.14A before you hit the 120w limit. Actually the Hyperion can only go up to 7A, so that will really be the limiting factor at 4s.
