That charger only charges that batter through the balance ports. I am not sure if any battery can be charged that way. I have seen that they can as long as it's under 1amp. I dunno. I would see if anyone else chimes in about that.

A buddy of mine from our group had one of those, it's not a good charger. It wont balance even if it is a balance charge and you get false reading all the time, also gets pretty warm when charging. I won't risk burning a house for a cheap charger.

hope this helps, although this is only one persons experience, some people might have better luck with it.
