Hmm. Oh well. I guess the only way to get exactly what I want would be to build my own, which really isn't all that hard except for the switching power supply on the input.

Metalman, you said that taps start heating up at ~3A. I thought that when you charged Lipos with a balancer attached that it, that you didn't hook up the main primary wires and simply charge/balance through the taps via the balancer (like in my attachment). So, if this is true (please correct me if I am wrong), then the most you can charge this way is 3A?

I still think it would be a good idea to slightly increase the size of the taps and charge each cell individually at ~5A through the taps. No need for a balancer that way.

Well heres my battery and charger (without balancer) setup, could someone help show me how to put taps on to balance the packs. They are being charged as 2 seperate 5s1p lipo packs.
