    Max,

    I am not sure about that specific charger, but keep giving it a juice slowly and keep checking the high volt cell to make sure you are not in the danger zone/near 4.2V. The only time I had to deal with this, I kept checking with a volt meter each cell and then plugged in in the balancer every few minutes. BUT remember, it takes VERY little juice to increase the voltage when the cell is low. But it takes a lot to push a cell from 4.0 to 4.1. So 99% of the time adding just 1-2% of total capacity to a low cell will push the voltage up a lot, where as adding 5% to a cell that is at 4.0 may not change the voltage at all ( within 1 tenth anyways)

    Does that make sense?

      Say - That NIMH Mode works!!!

      Many thanks for all the input on this thread. I set my charger to NIMH mode as suggested and set it on .5 amps. I only let it charge for 5 minutes at this setting, and it put in 40 mah. I then switched to LIPO mode
      and cell 1 checked 3.23 (up from 2.71) - cell 2 which was at 3.5 registered 3.29. Have now been on the charger for 52 minutes and register 4.08 and 4.05, so hopefully I'm good to go.

      Thanks to All,
      SkiKing

          workin a charm. Nihm mode for 40 sec @ 0,5 amp, and the cell went from 1,45 to 2,75. Charging now 1 amp, and the cell is creeping up towards the other cell wich is @ 3,95. Looking good.
