I have a triton with charge threw ballance leads.My charger is 4cell max at 14.8.Now if I charge 2 3 cell 2200 ma will I be over voltage like I was charging a 6s or would it be the same 11.1 with double the ma.So on 2 2200 3 cell packs it would read 11.1@4400ma.Or would it be 22.2volts..Trying to get more from my chargers.22.2volts=series/11.1 volts parallel with 2 3 cell lipos correct?
One more thing, when charging all lipo must be same cell#? Must have silmilar voltage level, but can mix and match any MAH size? Fischarge C rating doesn't mayter, right?
Just adking again because other videos about parallel charging says that even MAH should be same.
The mah does NOT have to be the same. Just the cell count. That is if you are charging them through the discharge lead. You can charge differnt cell batteries if you are only charging through the balance lead. This means that the main lead is not plugged in. Some chargers can not charge without batteries being plugged into the main lead. I like to charge batteries that are within 1/2 volt of each other. My lvc on the esc keeps my batteries close
Lets say I have a (6x) parallel board and 6x 240 mah blade mcp x batteries hooked up, how many amps do i need to put on the charger? Any help appreciated, I have no idea what to do!
5:20. Your main wiring is wrong. Main leads are not wired in paralell. They are not wired at all. check the voltage of main leads with voltmeter and it will show zero. The 2 black wires need to be connected together then connected to black charge lead and same with red wires. you have an open circuit.
it will work but you are charging through balance leads only.
@evilclown99 Where do you see an open circuit? The pos and neg of both packs go into the deans, then the dean to banana plugs then into charger. Circuit is complete. A bit hard to see, but he has it right.
@scolen3 the 2 black wires are connected together then connected to black charge lead and same with red wires, just look at the splitter coming from the main power supply.

So lipo in a parallel mode will effectively double the total amp output too, right?
For example, two 3s 1000mah 40C lipo in parallel = 80amps output?!

Excellent vid partner, what size power supply are you using?

Question:
What if you are parallel charging two LiPo with different Mah? say 1x1000mah & 1x2000mah? I would use 3AMPs setting on charger ?
xxgg 10 months ago
@xxgg Yep, you just add up the mah of all the packs. 1000 + 2000 = 3000 (3 amps, for a 1C charge rate).

Recommend to plug in the mail leads first, so the batteries can equalize through the thicker gauge wire. Then plug in the balancing plugs.

@CCWSig You're right. There are 2 female deans on charge lead not just one like I originally thought. I think I need a thicker pair of glasses!
