Yep i balance charge all my lipos at 1c and i have a couple old lipos that had no balance plugs on them just one deans plug and they are still good. My seaplane is 100 inch wingspan and flying on two 5000 packs so it takes a long time to charge them so i just bought 6 lipos and have had a couple of them for 4 years now without any puffing up . The new Hitec charger i bought comes in handy i can charge 4 at once now and bought a generator to power that. I might give a lipo in my transmitter a try but in my old one and the new one i buy soon i will wear its battery out first . It sounds like its the way to go Michel. joe
