Post #2 above brings a very important caution that each pack is reasonably close in voltage before you connect them together.


A fast way to do this is to bring each pack to storage mode individually, then group 3 packs together to finish the charge in parallel.
You need a nice Power Supply to charger at 30 Amps. and even then you wont be able to push 30 AMps per channel at the same time. even the 2000Watt 24v PS is 80AMps but thats if fed from 220V input. on 110v its limited 60amps (in a perfect world) it will get close but that PS is $350!
