  • MCPX battery parallel charging

    Can anyone explain to me how to parallel charge up to 6 MCPX batteries using the PL6. If I buy the lead in the link below will that work ok?

    Thanks

    That's the lead.
    I guess the PL6 has a normal charge mode not balance mode.
    Use normal or fast charge to charge them as a 1S.

      Don't forget to add the MAH together and dial it in to your charger.
      This is the one I use on my multi 4

          With the PL6 you will need to select 1/2s unbalanced for it to charge

            Thanks everyone. I've bought the lead that kennyd suggested. Hopefully I can get it to work ok with the PL6.

              Hi keith , it'll work fine , I used mine with a pl6 , plug it in , select how many in parallel & how many mah, IE 250mah , it will tell you it's 2s , for discharge I think I set it to 500mah , so should be no probs , Kd
