Also, before I go lipo, when charging nimh batteries, will I be able to charge two batteries at once using a "Y" harness? I also heard that they tend to false peak sometimes. Is this true and can it be fixed?

Ive been using the 989 since it came out and its darn nice I gotta say. Best bang for the buck out there for do everything chargers IMO.

I think the 989 is a nice charger for the money and specs.

Then that is the charger I'll probably go with then. Will I be able to charge two batteries at once using a "Y" harness?

Thanks agin for all the info.

[squeeforever]

Yes.

how does the y harnes work? and how would u hook up the ballencer to 2 packs?

id use to max amps 8k mah packs with the hyperion ballencer

The Y harness is one set of dean that is just wired so there will be 2 deans sets on the other side. The charger just has to be capable of chargering that many cells. I am not so sure about the balancer though.

[Sylvester]

Im not sure about the wiring of the balancers.. maybe metalman can scope in on this, or just ask mike or austin to make you one.

[jnev]

Sorry to be such a newb, :010: , but who is Austin? :013:

[Sylvester]

The owner of Maxamps. Its ok, every one starts off as a newb!

[jnev]
