@bigred - youre right of course mate, I doubt I would notice any difference and its not dangerous as its below the 8.4v lipo limit. However, it is somewhat worrying that a different charger may be charging OVER this 4.2v cell limit - and that is both damaging and potentially dangerous.
@Sleigh - no mate, this is a genuine problem with all these 4 button chargers. Its been well documented elsewhere on the Internet (hence what got me to test mine). Nout to do with the balancer leads and/or board; its to do with the cheaper components used within them.
Again, its not a crisis, but I would recommend people take the 10 seconds to pop their charged cells onto a good voltmeter just to see what the true picutre is - I certainly feel safer knowing that my charger tolerance is stopping BEFORE 4.2v and not after.
