Stupid questions
I always balance charge my 3S 2200 at 2.2amps (1C). Can I balance charge at 2C by setting the rate at 4.4 or is that what the fast charge program is for?
When using Lipo Charge and Lipo Fast Charge, does the charger balance?

Not a stupid question.
One of nice features of the Bantam line is that you can charge faster or slower than 1C. Just set the rate that you want to charge at.
The Fast charge program extends the CC portion of the charge and cuts the CV portion way back. This results in a faster charge but charges to about 95% of capacity.
Doing a 2C charge will increase your time, but not dramatically.
Anytime you have the battery connected to the balancer, it will display the cell voltages. Only the Balance Charge, Fast Charge, Discharge, and Storage Charge programs actually have the balancer active.
