Your stabbing yourself in the foot again.
Your Power supply unit is only good for 40A continuous supply.
If you are charging 2 x 10A lipos at 1C you will be getting quite close to the max, unless you can turn your voltage up much higher which you cant.
These chargers have all sorts of fail safes built in, and will alarm out if there is any problem.
They check each cell individually, and if 1 has too many Volts it will cut off, as it sees a problem, so by adding a parallel charger to a duo if you were charging 4x 10A lipos then it could take twice as long, not to mention what it would do to all your chargers built in safety settings.
To get a pair of 6S lipos up to 25.2V actually really only takes 20-25 mins, the remainder of the charging time 15-25 mins is used to do it really slowly, so in theory you could have 2 fully charged 6S lipos every 20 mins or so, that should be more than plenty to keep things going.
Better safe than sorry, especially if you are like me and dont really know much about how this charging stuff works.
I forgot to say I have some other 6s lipo's
4 x 6s 5000mah Nano = not that impressed with them
2 x 6s 5800mah Zippy = seem to be good
2 x 6 10A Heliguy white label = seem good
I would only parallel the 5000mah/5800mah if any. It should be safe to parallel 2 x 5A lipo's with that 40A parallel board on each channel ?
Its just a though at the moment i will purchase 1 charger and leave it at that until I've used it for a bit.
Im still trying different batteries to find the best for my aircraft.
Quinton you do seem to know a lot about the subject mate.
Thanks
