I use the TME Xtrema usually with my Commonsenserc balancer. Good combo IMO. I set the CC/CV threshold to 4.15v to add a little extra cycle life (hopefully) to my lipos and it doesn't reduce runtime by any noticeable amount.

If that charger is busy, I use my old Hyperion EOS7i and LBA10 setup...

Well, I use a Mrc 989, Duratrax ICE, or one of 3 hyperion 5i chargers. I have a variety of equinox, lba6 and flightpower V balancers that I use with each chargers. All work well, and would not hesitate to recommend any of them.

I use the FMA direct Cellpro 10s charger. This is an excellent charger!

Cool, so you got one of the first run huh ? I'm curious what packs you are charging and what the charge rate is when using auto. I have had the Cellpro 4s since right after it's release, and it's never given me a hiccup.

Wow, just checked that out and it looks like a really nice charger! 10s, 10A, 300w, built-in balancer, and the really neat feature that throttles down the charge rate according to your power supply current capability (nice!).

Is there some type of online manual or something I can peruse? I'd like to have multi-pack memory settings and the ability to set CC/CV threshold. And I'd like to know how the balancer plug setup works...

I use the MRC "super brain" 977 pro (which by the way WILL NOT charge lipo batteries without destroying them). Few hundred dollars go poof in a matter of months. It's ok for nimh though.
