New from ProTek R/C:
 
ProTek’s all-new 2S-4S 4-Battery Parallel Charger Board (PTK-5335) will enable you to charge up to four batteries simultaneously, while balancing the individual cells of each pack. The Parallel Charger Board is encased in an impact-resistant custom-molded plastic shell and is compatible with LiPo, Li-Ion and LiFe batteries. The DC input and battery port are protected with replaceable fuses, and each cell and balance wire is protected with self-resetting poly fuses. 
 
When you need multiple packs charged in a hurry, this is the best option. Plug in up to four batteries of the same chemistry with a standard T-style connector and balance lead, it’s that simple. The Parallel Charger board only works when charging batteries of the same cell count, similar age and similar discharge rates. If those requirements are met, you’re good to let the juice flow.  
 
Important Parallel Charging Rules:  
  • Only the same battery chemistry can be charged at once (E.g. don’t mix LiPo's with LiFe's, etc…) 
  • Only same-celled Lithium batteries can be charged at once (E.g. don’t mix 4S with 6S, etc…) 
  • Only charge batteries with similar states of discharge (within 0.2V) 
  • Always program the charger to the total capacity of all attached batteries (If charging four 5000mAh batteries, set the charger to 20,000mAh, etc. It is ok to charge batteries with different mAh capacities.)
Features:
  • Charge four batteries at once
  • Charge from 2S to 6S Lithium batteries
  • Balances each individual cell of each battery
  • Daisy chain multiple boards for additional charging  
  • Convenient T-Style battery connector 
  • 4mm gold bullet input connectors 
  • 40A max current 
  • Replaceable DC input fuse 
  • Replaceable battery port fuses 
  • Self-resetting polyfuses protect balance circuits
  • Impact resistant custom molded plastic hard case
