Opinions on charger for top balancing.

[finite]

Looking for yalls input on using this ISDT Q8 for top charging my bank, i originally purchased it years ago to charge my lipo drone batteries though as you can see it has life settings, i know its probably not ideal but will do up to 20amps with a proper power supply, currently using a laptop power supply limited to ~81w. It will charge and discharge, and has a destroy feature for when...well idk when the hell i would ever use it, but it has it.

8S or less alternative to top balance with potential future awesomeness.

I have on the order of 50 of these balance type chargers with a minimum 20A charge/discharge capability. I love them.

That said, I still have a 30V/10A supply I use for all kinds of stuff.
