Then how are you sure that you are in M1 mode???? I'm sure that you probably get used to it since you have to go through the whole routine of putting it into M1 mode every time you hook up a battery.
I'm sure it is actually much simpler than the instructions make it sound. All I'm saying is there is more to it than counting the cell count blinks. And from what I read there seems to be a pretty good chance for error.
Maybe I'm just paranoid from Lipos:p.

I see what you mean about the process but after doing it a couple times, its easy. I also understand about being paranoid from charging Lipos :eek:
Thats why I like these cells so much, they can take a lot more abuse than Lipo cells. I have only done a few charge cycles on these cells but there haven't been any errors thus far. The only thing I noticed is that the "Dapter" only see's 5 cells after I use the pack so I have to increment 1 cell every time I charge. I am also hearing that these cells tend to not accept a charge once they have peaked. I'm not sure how that would work out if you left them on the charger for an extrended period of time but gives credence to thier durable nature.
