    Can I do this???

    Hi Boaters
    Can I charge 2 2S Lipos as 4S on my charger? ( or 3x2s charging as 6S )
    Have a look at the picture.
    Cheers

          I do that on my Triton chargers all the time, it works well. I can show you how to build a balance harness as well.

            That's right, you missed last season's charging harness build session . They are a great way to charge two packs at the same time.

              acually H.C. has a 6s splitter balance adapter, plugs into your charger's balace port as a 6s and then splits it to two 3s balance plugs- effectively charges 2 3s packs as one single 6s pack. they need to come out with the 3x2s splitter so i can charge 3 2s packs as a 6s

                      I'm new so research my advice....

                      But the picture is of two batteries in series correct? You would want to run them in parallel (w/ a fabricated balance tap of course).

                              theres 2 3s plugs on the other side of that yellow board, you need to have your big power wires together in series to the big deans style plug so your charger see's 22.xx volts
