Really Dumb Question...
 
If I have an adapter for parallel charging, I dont have to utilize all plugs for it work right?

In other words, could i just charge one battery on a adapter that allows 6 batteries at once?

there is no way to charge 6 batteries at once off a charger if you are meaning 6 batterie packs. yes you can charge 1 battery at a time.

Sorry. I meant an adapter for 6 lipo packs, and just charging one pack on the 6 pack adapter.

Using this, can I charge just ONE pack on this adapter?

Yes you can charge any number of packs with that cable

Charger sees them as a single pack

Cheers

Sweet... Thanks.

You will also need a parallel cable for the balance leads

Cheers

Get the Paraboard - its much simplier and cleaner arrangement for parallel charging - everything plugs into the board -

I'm using the earlier version, this newer version has some improvements over the one I'm using.


Here's 6 lipos being charged in parallel -

Here's a diff clip clip where the lipos are not all the same capacities (same cell count though as parallel charging requires) using cables -
