Got a reply from Hyperion the other day:

Hi,

The "pulse" is just the charging pausing for a moment so that load is off the battery, and therefore accurate battery voltage can be read. Normal, and good.

Recent firmware still shows voltages on the "inside" of the balancer circuit (which is what the charger needs internally to do its job), rather than at the cell itself. As such, (until firmware v1.5 is released next week) you will see voltages that are higher than actual cell voltages. However, 4.3v seems too high in any case. Have you confirmed the voltage at a cell (directly with voltmeter)? Let me know about that, pls.

David
I tried a few lipos and it was 1 pack which has a bung cell in it that does the 4.3V thing... there others were good. The A123 cells got as high as 3.77V though
