Great idea! Better if you use a xt60 adapter to whatever battery you power the charger with. Less chance of a lipo short.
Even better, use your fully charged packs to bring your discharged packs up to storage charge if they are low. This takes a few more steps, but cuts down on wear of the chargers internal resistors. Set the minimum voltage like you did & add a lipo alarm set to your preferred to storage charge per cell voltage & your golden! No over discharged lipos!
Wish had figured that last part out a few weeks ago š¤¦š¾āāļø
Edit: (I should post a YouTube short)š¤
Not sure if the gens ace charger has this feature, but my toolkitrc M6D had a recycling discharge mode that saved me from having to call roadside assistance.
I storage charged 2 fully charged 6s 6000mAh lipos at the maximum rate in recycle mode to charge my dead vehicle battery to a maximum voltage of 14.5vdc for a lead acid (PB) Battery.
I now have 6ft car jumper cables with an xt60 on one end for high amperage connections to car & other lead acid batteries. Useful for field charging, high amperage parallel charging, & well, jump starts.

Hereās a weird scenario for ya brian. The only batteries Iāve ever had puff or go bad were the ones I discharged with my chargers. I leave em wherever theyāre at when Iām done running, usually LVC and have never had an issue with them, also worthy of being said, the ones I charged and just left fully charged are going 2 years strong and not had any issues. I think the biggest issue with lipo fires is chargers failing and overcharging, and of course people not keeping an eye on their batteries while charging. May not be the right way but it works for me. Side note I always use lipo testers to check my batteries, before and after charging, and before and after use.

Cool Brian, never thought of using another lipo as a source for the charger. Great vid man. I am gonna do this!
