With my 7S setup, I am able to get 15 minutes on the track at my LHS. Given the track is small, the runtime is great for only 2.3Ah. I am considering the Xtrema charger for my A123's so I can get that extra 5-10% charge that the LipoDapter can not provide. I am still considering my options for balancing but will likely balance them one at a time every 10-15 cycles or so.
Having a 2p setup versus two packs in parallel allows for easier balancing due to half as many cells to actually balance (two cells in parallel will act like one cell).
