What charger and balancer are you using? Even a 50w charger should be doing those packs in 1 hr each. My Hyperion 0606i ac/dc is a 50w charger with a built in power supply and will charge a 2s pack at 6amps so even a 6000mah pack would be done in an hr at A 1C charge rate. For those packs to take 3 hours your charging at less than 2amps or the balancer is doing something wrong. One thing I have learned is that a good charger is well worth the money, I have the Hyperion I already mentioned and a duo, both are great chargers with built in balancers and do just about everything. They may not be the cheapest chargers but I have never heard of anyone having any issues with them or with their lipos burning up while charging with a Hyperion. We spend tons on the lipos and the vehicles they go in so a decent charger is a must!
