what do I need to balance??

[mk351e]

OK, so I decided that I'm gonna get the Hyperion ac/dc charger and deal with a few hours of charge time. It'll cost me less money, I won't have to build anything, and it'll take up less space, and I don't think a 3 hour charge time would affect me based on my usage.

SO, I know nothing about balancing, but this charger does it, and I know that i should. I'm going to get a Zippy H 6S1P 5000 pack. What adaptor do I need (if any) to balance this pack with this charger??

Also, if I missed something here and am making a big mistake getting this charger, please let me know. I figure about 2.5- 3 hours charge time, but I'm ok with it based on my usage.

you say that now...but it will get old waiting that long for it to charge...I have the 0610 charger and the ofna 18amp switching PS and both cost me a total of less than $300 and I am very happy with my results I have FP 5000 6s pack

yeah, I here ya, but my daily runtime with nitro NEVER exceeded 45 min MAX, and my batteries should give me that with no probs. I just don't want to play with power supplies, and spend that extra money. Maybe I am making a mistake, but I've thought it over a lot, and I just can't see it ever being an issue - I work, and have a family, so my free time is limited. When I actually get to use my rc, it really has ever exceeded 45 minutes.

Worst case I see; I change my mind and sell the ac dc on ebay someday.

You'll need a XH balancer for the Zippy's.
