I have a charger and the parallel charging board:

Now I fully understand I need to connect like batteries in cell count AND capacity.
My questions:
1) Do both batteries have to be at the same level? For instance one may be partially drained and the other due to be recharged?
2) When I plug this getup into my charger and start the process even on "balance" setting (not charge) it is only showing 3 out of six cells connected? So if I understand correctly the first two cells are averaged and shown and so forth? This relates back to question 1 because if one cell is low and needs to be recharged while the other cell is almost fully charged???
See where Im going. Im just uncertain and want to be correct here. Dont need any exploding lipos.
My charger has a discharge function. I can bottom both batteries out separately to their correct levels and start fresh if I have to.
