hawkman, not being funny. I'm not the sharpest guy with balancing wiring, but I cannot see how using the balance tab from one pack can balance both. There probably is a way to do it (I have a couple of large packs with weird balancing tabs, -they are also all bad), but it wouldn't be worth the effort since you already have tabs for the individual packs.

If you want to try a single tab set up take a look at Red Schofield's site.

I tend not to waste language in e-mails, so they sometimes sound curt.
