It’s been a while.
I have two revolectrix 5000 mah packs. 1-3c
My charger is i306b 50 amp 1000 watt, with turnigy 1200watt 50amp power supply.
I have parallel charge board.

If I’m remebering things rite, my packs I can charge at 15 amps? And when I parallel charge I still stay at 15 amps?

15 amps would be the max charge on them at 3c. It appears from your specs that your charger and power supply will put out 30 amps easily, so you could charge both of them connected with your parallel board up to 30 amps safely. I would back it down to around 15 amps for the pair if I were you though unless you were in a big time rush.

today i was charging at 15 amps, tho the charger said 15 amps. the power supply? said 5 amps. :confused:

(2) 3s 5,000mAh packs in parallel on your board would be charged as one 3s 10,000mAh pack and 10 amps would be the 1c rate on this now technically one battery pack charge. If the packs specs say they can handle 1-3c charge rates then you can safely do a 30 amp charge if both are in parallel and are the same voltage when you start the charge cycle. I'm not sure why your charger reads 15 amps and the power supply reads 5 amps??
