Thank you sir.

I have a 6S 22.8V 10C 25000mAh LiPo (HV) battery. The C240 Duo max charge rate is 10A, and that's what I set before charging. When I charge hook up the brand new battery, it reads 23.1V. I believe full charge should should be somewhere around ~ 25.2V. When I attempt to balance charge, my Amps never go above .4A, and it charges so slow. In 120 minutes of charge time, I went from 22.7V to 23.1V. 6:46 I think my "User Setting" are correct. TVC-25.2V (~4200mV/cell) Capacity Cutoff - 25,000mAH, TempCutoff-60°C etc.. Any Ideas why? Is it because the high capacity of the battery and I just need a charger with more Amps?

Yes you need more watts.

Please do not use alligator clips in this manner; the potential to short the battery is too high and dangerous. Instead, either build the proper banana-to-TRX charger wire, or create a deans-to-TRX adapter.

Thanks. Will keep that in mind.
