The packs have a seperate balance connector already so you just use one balancer for each pack.I'm going to charge 2 packs in series each with a balancer.I'm going to use a single Li-saver for LVC.Other good thing compared to the FMAs is it's easy and convenient for Lipo newbies like me to balance charge both my packs on one charger above 6s.I'd need a pair of FMA chargers for my 8s and they can't do other things/types of cells.

Anybody have opinions on schulze chargers BTW,i was considering the 330d.Linky to 330d

Oh i thought it was 16 cells Nimh but it's only 6.I might look at the Graupner then,or the bigger schulze chargers.

As long as it is CC/CV, you can. I might have read somewhere that this charger will charge to a pretty high voltage, so a balancer would pretty much be required to keep the cells from going too high.

Powersupply can be made from an ATX powersupply from a computer. those things normally make an easy 15-20A on 12V

I use PS power supplies for my stuff. I have gone through 2 of them that can't hold their voltage very well, but another that is rated at 20amps on the +12v line will hold MUCH better. Or, just buy this:
