just think about the resell value... also where is a hyperion 2x the price? the duo yes, but why would you need/want more than 250W of charge power. thats the other thing, cheaper chargers have lower limits... try www.b-p-p.com free international shipping, although im still waiting for my hyperion (got it on a 7% discount day, which was even better!!)

I have the B8 I-Max from HC and so far it works well. I've only charges 3S lipo and 8 cell NimH but no problems so far.

This may be a problem, but I am new to all of this so I'm not sure. I've read that a lipo's should only becharges to 4.2v as a max, and durring a ballance charge the individual cells are reading 4.25 each at the end of the charge. I've not checked it with my fluke meter yet because I don't have any thing small enough to fit into the ballance connector.

This is just my experience take it for what it is worth.

I have only owned Hyperion chargers and thats all I ever will, you get what you pay for and hyperion sells adapters for any style balancer tap for the builtin lb10 balancer that the 0610i chargers have
