Has anyone had any experience with this charger? Are the HiTec chargers up to the task?

Its a very good charger. I have the AC/DC model and paid $195.00 for mine. I really like its performance, I can charge 8 of my 3S batteries at once (in parallel), and it does real good at charging my 6s-5000mAh batts. too

"Reduces charging time, but does not balance the cells, this mode only charges the battery to approximately 90% capacity"

$166 and it doesn't balance?

It will balance charge but you have to get the optional balance cables for that to work.

I believe that's referring to just the fast-charge mode, my charger (different make/model) does the same thing...you can fast charge, or balance during charging, but not both.
