Thread: Multiple battery charging on Accucell-6 ?

Do you want something ready made or are you happy to solder. You can connect 6 cells in series with the balance leads going into the charger from the cell junctions. That would give you 6 cells( max 25.2V) ie 6S 550mah which you could charge at 1.65 Amps which gives you the 3C charge rate. You would need the cells to be at the same volts to get a decent charge time. You can also charge in parallel. You would then have 3 sets of two which you charge as one 3S 1100mah. Please reply if you want something ready made, but there are probably people who would do it for you for free. When connecting cells in parallel try to get the volts as close as you can. 100mv is usually ok. Some people don't bother to match, but if you discharge to a known voltage then you wouldn't have to. I wouldn't discharge below 3.6V on load and I would store at between 3.8 and 3.9V. You can get cell volts the same by using a long piece of wire like bell wire, if the volts are far off. Opinion does vary in how close they need to be.
