I know I might be better posting in the batteries and chargers section, but I know alot of you guys will know what im trying to do and can help. So I figured Ide ask here 1st...
How do you use a Watts up to monitor charge mah going into a battery. I charge through the balance taps, like most of you im sure and dont see a way to use the wats up and its 2wire setup with our batteries.... help?

You can't use it if your charging through the balance connector.

As I assumed.........no problem as a fat tax return has me looking for a better charger. Ide like somthing in the 150-200 range... any suggestions?
Right now I have a g2dn from my cx2days and its been getting by for the the 400.
It would be nice to charge 2 at once and use an external balancer. Screen info isnt as important as speen and ability to charge more than 1 400 battery as I can use the wats up my buddy gave me today :D nice friend.
anyhow, heligods again I beseach thee... LOL

Charge up to 4 lipos at a time if you supply it with enough power :).

I LOVE my cellpro 4S, if I had the funds would go with cellpro 10S. Just plug it in and forget it, never have to change input to charge diff batts. Charges with balance lead only (like stock) and balances too.

I've got my eye on the Bantam e-Station BC-6 (http://www.rcaccessory.com). It's in that price range.
You can run it off wall power or DC, and it seems comparable to the Cellpro.
