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.
If I remember right, output voltage too low is the error message. It has been awhile though. Or it said input voltage is too low. It would say it with the 5s even charging at 2 amps. The 4s I can charge at 5 or 6 no problems at all. I was just curious, if I could bump up what the PS is putting to the charger if this would help charge the 5s if ever needed. My 989 can do it no problems.
