Oh the frustration, after all of my old batteries gave way due to witnessing too many crashes I decided to buy a new set. Originally I used 2 zippys and had no problems with them until I crashed them to death. On my second order of batteries I got some turnigy's instead because they looked a little bit nicer, I had no complaints with the turnigy's at that time. Now for whats happened to me, this time around I've bravely bought 6 turnigy 2200 mah 3S batteries seeming I go through them so fast - 4 of them from the international warehouse, the other 2 from the aus warehouse. So after charging the batteries I realised they aren't balancing, so then I tried the other batteries - still no luck. After painfully trying multiple times to get any of the 6 batteries to charge and balance I finally gave up. So I want to know if anyone has some ideas on what it could be and what I should do?

Charger: Turnigy accucel 6

Is it safe to fly on any of these batteries? Is it worth returning them to HobbyKing? Could the charging be broken?
Note: battery 5 might still balance, I'll try a little harder to get it charged.
