Default Paraboard question

Getting ready to try my Icharger 206 out for the first time. What setting do I charge at using this board. Say I charge only 3s packs. Do the settings change based on number of packs. Im charging nano techs that claim a 8c charge. I charger only goes to 20 amp. I have 5000 mah packs. So I plug my packs into board and charge on 3s 20amp? Does it matter if its 2 packs or 6 for the settings?

Thanks

Add the capacities of your packs to calculate the charge rate

Single 5000mah sized pack
1c = 5 amps
2c = 10 amps
4c = 20 amps

2 x 5000mah sized packs in parallel
1c = 10 amps
2c = 20 amps

5000mah and 4000mah in parallel
1c = 9 amps
2c = 18 amps


Cheers

Note that all the lipos connected have to be same cell count....maybe take a min and read to help understand what you're trying to do -
