- cant unbalance the pair, as all 4 are going into the balancer on the charger, so if we assume the charger is working, then all 4 should be balanced (this would be no different than charging a standard 4 cell lipo for 1/8th scale say)

Here why i ask...

In a stick pack, its rated at say 5000mAH.
Now I always took that as the TWO CELLS TOGETHER.
Thus, 1 hour @ 5amps = fully charged.

BUt in my new saddles, they are INDIVIDUALLY rated at 5000mAH (Im basing this on the little sticker on each one (they are Vampire cells) says 5000mAH), so therefore, even if I charge two together as normal, that still means 2 hours at 5amps?!

Hope that makes some sense?
