A lower power limit (like 50w) will mean it won't be able to charge at the full current.

I believe there is a balance board you can buy that will take care of the balancer connections, just make absolutely sure you hook it up right according to the main charging leads. Or, you can build your own using my diagrams. I personally prefer building my own since I can be sure it is done safely, but that's up to you.

It's a 50w Maybe I'll look into getting the Acucell 8 it'll do 150watts. I'll keep looking. I guess I can get another and another pair of batteries and just charge two at a time or at a lower rate. I charge in advance anyway and 3 sets of 5200 batteries will go a long time.
