Well that's pretty obvious, my point is if I want to go to the track and charge two 5s packs at the same time, then two of these chargers is still less than one Hyperion Duo and I get the magical cell monitoring which must be better than my current duo has been for last five+ years. So if my Hyperion Duo ever dies I may look at two of these.

Can the terminal voltage be increased as well as lowered? When racing I charge to 4.23v/cell on my current charger and wouldn't want to lose the ability to do so. I had a GT power GT8 which wasn't adjustable and charged to a stated 4.2v/cell but it was inaccurate and that 4.2v was actually 4.185v, when I got a replacement for it I found that there was quite a few extra mAh to be had in the difference between 4.185 and 4.23v/cell, the maximum allowed in the rules I race to.

You mentioned being faster than cellpro 10s chargers, but I thought the cellpro chargers charged the cells individually through the balance leads in the same way, is that not the case? I have 8s packs that I need to charge and was thinking of going with a cellpro 10 so I could charge them quickly whilst other stuff is charging rather than splitting into 4s and taking up both ports of my current charger.
