hi,
I have a 10s 10,000mah and a 12s 8000mah battery I also have the tp820cd 8s twin port charger, apparently this charger can charge up to 16s how do I set up the charger to charge the 10/12s? both batteries have twin balance leads but only1 set of charging leads?
thanks rob

This means the TP820CD is well-equipped to quickly charge batteries up to 8S on each port for use in series as up to 16S

Straight from the site. You cannot charge a 10 s batt unless it is configured as 8+2, 7+3, 6+4, 5+5 etc. same for the 12 s .

Charger is limited to 8s per port

sending batteries back and having them converted to 2 x power leads so I can use twin port charger, alternative was to buy the thunder power 14s charger and a larger voltage output power supply which works out expensive

The 820 is an investment in itself. I'm really happy with mone but I only charge 1-4 cell. I can series charge a lot of my paks so I like that.
