New charger??
I am looking for a new charger. My question is if you can run the batteries in series in the baot can they be charged that way?? I need a new charger and hate waiting to charge the batteries one at a time, and Have not found a charger that does both batteries at once. I was thinking of the new trition if you can charge them in series. anybody done this or where can I find out.

RE: New charger??
I use the Hyperion EOS0610i DUO. Balance charges 2 packs at a time and can do it so they are balanced to each other, synchronized mode. Perfect for packs run in series.
Can do up to two 6S packs at up to 8 amps per pack (180 watts per side).

I buy mine from [link=http://www.rclipos.com]RC Lipos[/link]

I love my Hyperion 606 ac/dc charger...I have two of them. Here's the $30.00 cheaper generic version of that same great charger.

I picked up a Triton2 from the scratch and dent page of Tower for $59. It was an open package, but otherwise like new. Works great.
I don't think you can go wrong with either the Triton or one of the Hyperions. Truth be told, I really like the look of those Hyperions.

RE: New charger??
I was in the same boat as you at one time...trying to decide which charger to buy is very confusing.
Most popular chargers which come to mind first are:
Triton
MRC
Hyperion

I think it may be better to charge them individually (skip in series charging as often as you can). With pack differences and differences in individual cells it is impossible for a charger to know when to stop charging.
