There is an option to enable it in the charger settings, check the manual to find it.
You will find that it only does a 1A charge though so will take forever on most lipo packs.

Garry,
Come and find me at Fav this weekend and I'll show you mine - oh errr missus.
My Core RC UDC20 charger that is!
Very pleased with it - LiPo, NiMH, NiCD - even Lead Acid!! Comes with Balance leads and everything. Very good IMO

I would like a simple and cheap Lipo-charger for someone who's a RC-beginner and wants to start with Lipo so he doesn't needs other battery-functions.

Any charger that can be recommended?
Off course balancing is a plus but not absolutely necessary.
With modern Lipo's you can keep your battery ok, by balancing it once every month or 14 days, I guess.
