I was only going to use it this time without the balancer, as I could afford one this month! Damn

THANK YOU TRAKPOWER!!!!
Mark have to say either your charger was faulty or not set to lipo mode
amps should be allot lower when 8.4 volt is seem as in well under 1 amp on the display, i have a robitronics and its works ok.
the balancer is not a necesity but it is a safer way due to the added saftey features of the fact it will not allow over charge or undercharge.
be intersting to see the result of your charger test from the manufatcures.

even so, good on Trakpower leaders in technology and leaders in customer support!

treat yourself to a balancer
