Default Etronix PowerPal Touch Question

Hi all, I just purchased one of these, but I am not convinced it is working quite right. I choose 7.4v balance Lipo charge and the cells start charging. On the main screen it shows the total voltage as 8.4 volts so starts reducing the amps, however if I look at the individual cell screen both batteries show 4volts, not 4.2!

This in turn means it is going to take ages to charge the remaining .2 volts on each pack.

If I then plug the same batteries into my old gt charger, the voltage on each cell matches the etronix reading, but it shows around 8.27v total so carries on charging correctly.

I have tried resetting to factory settings on the charger, but to no avail.

Has anyone else got one of these? Is it expected behaviour?

Cheers

Dave
