A parallel charging board puts an end to spending hours taking one pack off charge to then hook up the next one. In combination with a balance charger,ย a parallel charge boardsย can simultaneously charge multiple LiPo batteriesย reducing the overall charge time significantly.ย For example, if you have threeย 2,200mAh 3s Li-Po batteries which you charge at 1C (2.2A), this would usually take approximately 3 hours to charge each pack individually. With a balance board you can charge all three packs in about one hour – assuming your charger is capable of charging at 6.6A.
This XT60ย Parallel Charge Board allows you to charge sixย battery packs simultaneously from 2S up to 8S, at up to a 40A charge rate.ย The battery packs being charged in parallel need to have the same cell count and be in a similar state of discharge (within 0.2V).
The board comes fully fuse protected, with 40A replaceable automotive style fusesย on the main circuit and self-resetting polyfuses protecting your balance plugs.
The board also includes additional ports for small 1S packs, and even a barrel plug to charge these batteriesย from your FPV goggles
A unique feature of this board is the ability to “daisy chain” it with others. There is a set of 4mm bullet jacks on the end and a balance plug connection allowing you to connect another parallel board to it. This means you can connect multiple boards together with different plug types to charge all of your same cell count batteries simultaneously!
IMPORTANT:ย When attempting parallel charging, the important thing to remember is that the battery packs all have to be the same cell count and therefore the same voltage rating. You CANNOT parallel charge a 6S pack with a 4S pack. This is an advanced method of charging and requires a certain level of electrical understanding. If you are not comfortable with charging calculations or wire sizing, please donโt attempt it.
