Charging batterys in parallel

[Lyel]

Hi,, I'm looking to charge multiple lipos at once, right now I have a venom duo and it works good but I was wondering if this set up would work with my charger?

Thanks in advance

I use a few of those boards as well, they work well, but it all depends on the wattage of your charger as to how long/fast it will take to charge multiple packs.

What are the specs on your charger?

[Lyel]

Pb Battery Voltage: 2-20V
Charge Current: 2 x 0.1 - 7.0A
Discharge Rate: 0.1 - 1.0A
Circuit Power: 2 x 80W
Current Drain Balancing: 300mAh per Cell
Input: DC 11.0V-18.0V - AC 100V-240V

Kyle - where in ONT. are you?

Circuit Power: 2 x 80W

So you have two outputs at 80W max each - Correct?
What size (S) and mAh packs are you charging?

Say - you are charging a 4S -5000mAh pack (16.8V) your Max amp's is 4.76A per output. (this is not even 1C rate)

I think you may need a bigger charger. Maybe something along the line of 150W to 200W per output.

Like Larry said, you do need a more powerful charger....your current one will work, but it will take a while to charge the packs...if you have the time, then fine, but if your intent is to fast charge multiple packs in parallel, you will need a higher wattage charger, plus a suitable power supply.
