I charger and parallel charging
 

Hey guys, I been thinking about getting a I charger. Is it worth it for you basic racer. I really do not have a ton of batteries. But I was also curious on charging parallel. For instance if I have 5 4s lipos. What is all required and is it better to just charge 1 at a time. Thanks

I parallel charge all the time, but it's a habit I picked up from flying 12s setups flying.
You need a good parallel board or two. I have quite a few, but I use this one for my surface packs. you can get a quality parallel board from
