Been looking at it more, and the balancing side, I'm actually wondering if the Etronix only balances via discharging, and not while charging...which would be a downside to it. Does anyone know if this is actually the case or am I assuming it incorrectly?

The cables also look like they use a round pin connector to attach to the charger, which doesn't look as good quality wise compared to the BC6, is that the case as well?

Also, with the BC6...the instructions talk about lipo charge modes...charging, balance charging, fast charging and storage charging.

The fast mode just seems to short charge the battery, which sounds useful for club racing where the time between heats is potentially short, but does anyone know if it balance charges while it's doing this? How do these diffrent modes work out in reality?

Any info/feedback would be gratefully received!

Ta muchly
