Lipo Balance Time
What is the longest time it should take to balance a 5000ma 2 cell lipo battery?
I've charged it 3 times and decided to balance it, I left it on the balancer for 48 hrs and it still was not done. What is the maximum time it should take?

What are the individual cell voltages? If they're within 0.01 or so, it's fine.
Some balancers will literally balance forever and never be happy.
What charger/balancer are you using?

Thanks for the reply Eric, I'm using a Triton EQ charger, not sure of the voltages, was waiting for it to finish and then check the charge info in the charger memory.

I didn't know those would balance outside of the charge mode... It may just keep going for eternity until you give up on it.
If you can measure the voltages with a multimeter that would tell me a lot.
If you're plugging the balance lead in while charging, it does it for you during the charge process.
