Probably the best feature is the ability adjust your lipo peak voltage from 3.6v up to 4.2v in 0.1v steps. Unfortunately, whatever you set it to affects all charge profiles. So, you can have one profile set for M1 cells and then the other three for regular Lipos.

The wattmeter also comes in handy to discharge my NiMH packs. I just put a decent load on the "motor" outputs and the charger keeps track of the mAh discharged. Could also do this for Lipos too for storage reasons; discharge them to 1/2 mAh capacity.

I REALLY wish it had NiMH functionality too, but was told by TME that there wasn't enough room in the firmware to fit that AND the Li mode.

I also think it could use a heatsink where the FETs/transistors are. That side gets quite warm charging high capacity/high voltage batteries. I'll probably add some sometime. The charger has a temperature activated fan, but as you may recall, I hate to use fans. :)
