Well today was the first time my charger false peaked...Is that a bad thing? im running peak racing 3300's and never had this problem with stock or these batterys? Is there something wrong with my charge?

hmmm, there's only 2 main reasons a charger can false peak KNOWING the charger is good in the first place: #1 not enough power to the charger such as a weak power supply or 1:1 auto car battery, #2 your cells in your batteries aren't balanced - common with "SPORT" or non-matched packs, meaning one or more cells has more power than the rest, easy fix though - run your packs ALL THE WAY DOWN (discharge) to take out the uneveness and then re-charge them and they should (unless you find weak cells) have better balanced cells.

I have had problems with false peaks when the packs are brand new or have sat for a long time (2+ months). Other than that, I havent had any problems running my charger off a pc power supply.
