Mine gives me mixed information about my batteries. When I plug it up to my batteries to stand-alone balance them, it gives me the signal that the cells are within .02v of each other. Yet when I try to use it for balance charging, it has only ever given me the signal that the cells are much further apart than that, and my charger says "overvoltage." The packs run fine in my Slash and 8ight buggy, so it's rather confusing.

The packs I'm using are two Venom X-Pack 5000 20C 2S2Ps and one MaxAmps 6500 30C 2S2P. Charger is the Pro Peak Prodigy 2. I've been running the Venoms in my 8ight for about four months with a Novak HV 6.5, excellent performance. The MaxAmps has only ever powered my stock Slash for four months as well, and has held up thanks to the low amp draw.
